The European Union has amended regulations that will now provide pay to migrant workers equal to that of locals. Until now, migrant workers have largely been exploited, working for a fraction of the wage local workers are paid.

But by July 30th 2020, EU countries will be required to conform to the new regulation, under Dir. 2018/957. The EU Employment Commission has stated that the new regulations aim to ensure "equal wage conditions for the same job in the same place".

Anyone who is employed in a European country must be able to take advantage of fair working conditions, with guarantees for both the employee and the company that they will not encounter unfair competition in regards to the cost of labour.

INPS Circular No. 92 introduces significant changes to sick leave protection, extending coverage to include the day before a medical certificate is issued, even when the examination occurs at a doctor's office rather than through a home visit. This expansion addresses potential disadvantages employees face when delays occur in obtaining medical examinations, though specific exceptions apply for weekends and midweek holidays.

Garante Privacy: I Controlli Tramite Sistemi Di Geolocalizzazione

Il Garante Privacy ha sanzionato un'azienda per l'utilizzo illecito di sistemi GPS sui veicoli aziendali che monitoravano i dipendenti ogni 60 secondi. Il provvedimento evidenzia le violazioni dei principi di minimizzazione e proporzionalità del GDPR, nonché l'assenza di una valutazione d'impatto preventiva. La decisione chiarisce quando il controllo tramite geolocalizzazione supera i limiti della liceità, anche in presenza di accordo sindacale.
