Our Salary Partner Matteo Motroni underlines what the form is expected to be for employment contracts in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Specifically, the conditions and essential elements to be included for the work contract to be validly executed. He points out the contents that must be present in the letter of employment and the information obligations incumbent on the employer, as well as the information that can be legitimately acquired by the employer at pre-employment stage, to which the issue of the ‘criminal record certificate’ is precisely related.
Regarding the probationary period, Mr Motroni’s focus is on its form, content and cause. He also explains how the probationary period may be extended and what happens in the event of employee’s failure to pass the trial succesfully. Finallly, he reminds about term and duration of the probationary agreement in fixed-term contracts.
Furthermore, Matteo addresses the topics of professional apprenticeship contracts, temporary contracts, labour lease, and part-time employment relationships.
