This was stated by the Court of Appeal of Venice in its judgement of 22 April 2024 in relation to the case of an employee with the duties of \u201cPrevention and Protection Service Officer\u201d and \u201cEnvironmental Management Officer,\u201d whose dismissal was grounded on the suppression of the position of \u201cPrevention and Protection Service Officer\u201d only, with the outsourcing of all the relevant activities.<\/p>\n<p>The Court of Vicenza, confirming the decision issued in the summary phase of the proceedings, rejected at first instance the challenge of the dismissal based on the circumstance that the outsourcing to an external professional of all the duties the employee previously performed, including both of \u201cPrevention and Protection Service Officer\u201d and those (not mentioned in the dismissal letter) of \u201cEnvironmental Management Officer\u201d had only become known during the inquiry before the Court, whereas the company had justified the dismissal only on the outsourcing of the activities of \u201cPrevention and Protection Service Officer.\u201d In particular, the Court of first degree, considering inapplicable to the dismissal for objective justified reasons \u201cthe principle of immutability of grounds,\u201d had held that it was totally irrelevant that the dismissal letter did not refer, also, to the duties of \u201cEnvironmental Management Officer.\u201d The decision was, therefore, challenged before the Court of Appeal of Venice by the employee, who contested the admissibility of the inquiry on \u201ccircumstances unrelated to the suppression of the position of Prevention and Protection Service Officer, the only organizational reason grounding the expulsive measure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Court of Appeal of Venice, for its part, clarifies preliminarily that the principle of the immutability of the reasons communicated as grounds for dismissal must also apply to cases of dismissal for objectively justified reasons. It follows that the employer, once the termination due to the suppression of the position has been served, can only indicate \u201cconfirmatory or supplementary circumstances\u201d of the facts justifying the dismissal. In this case, the Court continues, since the activities relating to environmental management are \u201contologically distinct and autonomous\u201d from those of \u201cPrevention and Protection Service Officer,\u201d the suppression of the position of Environmental Management Officer is an \u201centirely autonomous and new circumstance,\u201d which changes, but is neither supplementing nor confirming, the facts on which the dismissal was based. Therefore, the justification of the dismissal by way of also outsourcing the duties of \u201cEnvironmental Management Officer\u201d opposes the principle of immutability of the grounds of dismissal, with the result that, according to the Court of Appeal of Venice, the judgment appealed against by the employee is \u201cerroneous\u201d and the evidence admitted at first instance is \u201cinadmissible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Action Points for Human Resources and In-House Counsel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Points<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The principle of immutability of the grounds for dismissal, which is well consolidated in the case of employment termination for disciplinary reasons, is also valid for redundancy (i.e., dismissal for objectively justified reasons).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, even in the case of suppression of a job position, if the employer provides at a later stage as justifications for the dismissal \u201cfacts that are different\u201d from those indicated in the dismissal letter, the dismissal can be easily challenged.<\/p>\n<p>The full article is published here: <a href=\"https:\/\/leglobal.law\/2024\/07\/23\/italy-the-reasons-for-termination-are-immutable-for-dismissals-based-on-economic-reasons\/\">https:\/\/leglobal.law\/2024\/07\/23\/italy-the-reasons-for-termination-are-immutable-for-dismissals-based-on-economic-reasons\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new article by Angelo Zambelli published on L&amp;E Global website The principle\u2014already consolidated in the case of disciplinary dismissals \u2013 of the immutability of the reasons grounding the employment termination also applies to dismissals for economic reasons (i.e., dismissal for objectively justified reasons), with the consequence that, even in the case of suppression of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
