Recently approved Dignity Decree will place limitations on the relocation of companies whilst aiming to simplify taxation.

As of the eleventh of August, The Decree of Dignity was passed, the first legislative act to be enacted by the new Italian populist government. The official order takes its name from the need to make urgent provisions for the dignity of workers and businesses in Italy.
Several objectives of the decree aim to combat job stability, relocation of enterprises and economic dependency on delocalized production.

Overturning the previous Democratic party's Job Act, the new populist Italian government has advanced the coined "Dignity Decree" which establishes the maximum length for temporary employment contracts.
