How to reduce legal disputes: contract certification

Certification of employment contracts is an Italian legal procedure whose main function is to reduce legal disputes about the classification of employment contracts.

In Italy, the classification of employment contracts is very important as different contracts provide different rights and levels of protection.

All contracts are concerned, but quasi-subordinate/self-employment contracts and sub/contracts for outsourcing services are specifically targeted.

The activation process involves a significant amount of back office work. Infact, upon receipt of the certification request and all the necessary documents the competent commission undertakes a review of the documentation (and investigate if necessary) and finally decides whether to award the certification or not. The procedure should take no longer than 30 days but this may be extended if the commission needs to carry out further investigations.

The bodies that can provide certification services are appointed by law and may be set up by:

• The Professional Association of Labour Advisors (and we are Labour Advisor)

• Universities and University Foundations (and we a have an agreement with "Marco Biagi Foundation")

• Bilateral bodies (set up by unions and employers’ associations)

• Territorial Labour Inspectorates

• Ministry of Labour

• Provinces, on the bases of local and territorial autonomy
