Smart Working

New measures relating to ‘smart working’: In November 2016 the Senate approved a bill containing new measures for the protection of the self-employed and to promote smart-working for employees.

The bill will introduce a series of new measures to support self-employed workers and consultants (including maternity leave, training programs and tax-reliefs); but above all, it finally sets out Italy's legal framework of remote/home working.

The bill is now subject to the scrutiny of the Chamber of Deputies; the Government hopes to get final approval later this year so that the new rules can take effect in 2017.

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.
