HOT LABOR TOPICS – An unlawful transfer of undertaking might “duplicate” the employment relationship

Pubblicato da Giovannelli e Associati il 04/05/2020

With ruling n. 8162, 24^th April 2020 (see here the full text in Italian), the Supreme Court stated that a transfer of undertaking lacking the requirements pursuant to art. 2112 of the Italian Civil Code affects the “uniqueness” of the employment relationship that was unlawfully transferred.

Specifically, that would create a “duplicity of relationships (one of which, de iure, restored with the original employer, …; while the other, de facto, towards the subject that is already transferee and actual user)”, in a way that the eventual dismissal by the transferee/actual user would not affect the original employment relationship between the transferor and the (unlawfully) transferred employee.
