Recent Developments In Employment Law After The So Called "Fornero Reform"

Upon the entry into force of the major employment law reform known as "Fornero Reform" (Law 28 June 2012, no. 92), the Italian employment law system experienced significant changes, from both a substantive and procedural law perspective. After the enactment of the Fornero Reform, further changes have been introduced, mainly by virtue of "urgent" decrees. In this connection, between the end of 2012 and the summer of 2013 the following decrees have been issued, among others: the so-called "Decreto Sviluppo-bis" (D.L. 18 October 2012, no. 179), the so-called "Decreto del Fare" (D.L. 28 June 2013, no. 76) and, recently, the so-called "Decreto Occupazione" (D.L. 28 June 2013, no. 76). Such decrees have been subsequently converted into law and are currently in force.
