Cross-Border Employment

Cross-border employment requires reviewing the legal and compensation rules of each applicable jurisdiction.

Italian Labor Rules & Foreign Secondments

Assess exposure under Italian labor rules for unauthorized foreign secondments. Review the cross-border assignment alongside the severance offer. The employment arrangement, location of work, and applicable jurisdiction require individual review.

Authorization & Enforcement

Italy’s 2024 changes to unlawful staff supply, contracting, and secondment under Law No. 56/2024 and the labor inspectorate’s Note No. 1091/2024 warrant careful review. Physical work in Italy, the required authorization, and the timing of filings can affect exposure. Assess compliance based on the work arrangement, including foreign payroll and temporary-assignment terms. Available sanctions and their application require jurisdiction-specific advice.

Executive Compensation

In a separate cross-border executive-compensation matter, the initial $43,000 offer became a $141,000 exit package in 48 days, without suit. The dispute involved a multi-jurisdiction risk picture.

Review the Full Arrangement

Review the employment and compensation agreements together with assignment documents and termination communications. Identify the jurisdiction governing each part of the arrangement.
