For an employer and employee in Italy agreeing smart working within an existing job. The written agreement required by articles 18–23 of Italian Law 81/2017 sets the days and places of agile work, equipment provided, disconnection hours, monitoring, disciplinary conduct, the risk notice, duration and withdrawal on thirty days' notice (ninety for a disabled worker). A private employer then reports it online to the Ministry of Labour, free of charge, within five days of the start. In Italian.

Common questions
- Does smart working in Italy need a written agreement?
- Yes. Article 19 of Italian Law 81/2017 requires a written agreement between employer and employee covering work outside the premises, equipment, monitoring, disciplinary conduct, rest periods and disconnection. The employer then reports the agreement online, free of charge, to the Ministry of Labour. Agile work does not change the employment contract, the collective agreement or the pay.
- How can an agile working agreement in Italy be ended?
- If the agreement is open-ended, either side may withdraw with at least thirty days' notice; the employer must give at least ninety to a worker with a disability under Italian Law 68/1999. With a justified reason, either side may withdraw before a fixed-term agreement ends, or without notice from an open-ended one (art. 19 of Law 81/2017). Withdrawal brings the work back to the premises; it does not end the job.
- Who has priority for smart working in Italy?
- An employer that uses agile work must give priority to requests from parents of children up to twelve, or of any age if the child is disabled, from workers with a serious disability and from family carers (art. 18(3-bis) of Italian Law 81/2017). It is a priority, not a right, and an employee may not be penalised or transferred for asking. To ask, there is the letter requesting agile work.

Related documents
- Proposal to end employment by mutual agreement (Italy)
For a private-sector employee in Italy proposing to the employer that the job end by mutual agreement, on a date and on the terms asked for. The letter is only the proposal: the agreement takes effect if it is then made, free of charge, through the Ministry of Labour's online procedure or signed in a protected setting such as the labour inspectorate or a union office. After a termination by agreement, NASpI unemployment benefit is due only in special cases. Sent by registered post, PEC or by hand. In Italian.
- Employee confidentiality agreement (Italy)
For an employer and employee in Italy who want confidential information protected after the job ends, when the duty of loyalty under art. 2105 of the Italian Civil Code lapses. The agreement defines the confidential information, how long the duty lasts after the job ends, the exceptions (public information, legal duties, whistleblowing reports) and the return of documents. It is not a non-compete clause: it does not restrict future work and sets no penalty. In Italian.
- Notice of sick leave to the employer (Italy)
An Italian letter, in Italian, from an employee telling the employer of an absence for illness: the start date, the end of the doctor’s prognosis, the protocol number (PUC) of the electronic certificate the doctor sent to INPS, and the address where the employee can be reached for the medical check. It is for cases where the collective agreement or the company asks for written notice and offers no portal of its own. Send it by PEC to the company’s certified address, by registered post with proof of receipt, or by hand. It holds health data, so it is sold blank and filled in by hand.
- Open-ended employment contract (Italy)
For a business or professional hiring an employee in Italy on an open-ended contract, full-time or part-time. It sets out the national collective agreement (CCNL) applied, grade, duties, place of work, trial period (six months at most), hours, pay, holidays, notice and severance pay (TFR), and contains the written information required by Italian Legislative Decree 152/1997 as amended by the transparency decree.

- Domestic worker's request for payslips (Italy)
For a domestic helper, carer or nanny in Italy who asks the employing family for the payslips of certain months and for the statement of wages paid in the year, which the collective agreement for domestic work provides instead of the Certificazione Unica, as the family does not withhold tax. They are needed for a tax return, renewing a residence permit, renting a home, the NASpI unemployment benefit or checking contributions. Hand it over and have the copy signed, or send it by registered post. In Italian.
- Request for an advance on severance pay (TFR) (Italy)

The letter states the reason and encloses the documents. If the TFR goes to a pension fund, the advance is asked of the fund. Send it by registered post, PEC or by hand. In Italian.
