Italy Introduces Employment Law Reforms

Short summary

Italy's Decree-Law 62/2026 introduces three major employment reforms: a "fair wage" standard tied to collective bargaining to prevent wage dumping, social security exemptions for hiring women/youth in special zones, and algorithmic transparency with human review rights for platform workers. Employers must include NCBA codes on contracts and payslips, with automatic wage adjustments if agreements aren't renewed. Delivery riders gain mandatory training, identity verification, and protection against algorithmic discrimination.
