Employment
Employment lists, resident priority and collective agreements
Employment law channels hiring through public employment lists that give priority to residents. Terms are largely set by sector collective agreements, with dismissal requiring justified grounds.
Key rules
- Vacancies must generally be notified to the employment office, with priority for residents.
- Sector collective agreements set pay scales and working conditions.
- Dismissal requires just cause or justified reason and is reviewable by the court.
Governing law
- Law 131/2005 on employment placement
- Law on the protection of health and safety at work
In practice
A large share of the workforce commutes daily from Italy, so cross-border social security coordination is a routine payroll issue.
