Tinti, Anna Rita (2012) Il lavoro agile e gli equivoci della conciliazione virtuale = Agile work and the misunderstandings of virtual conciliation. WP C.S.D.L.E. “Massimo D’Antona”.IT – 419/2020. [Working Paper]
Abstract
The essay examines the s. c. smart working with particular focus on work-life balance, which is one of the declared objectives of Act 81/2017, chapt.II, regulating the “lavoro agile” in Italy. In the first part the author compares the generic approach to work-life balance in this Act with the care oriented one that usually chacterizes the Italian legislation in this matter. In the second part the “lavoro agile” Italian rules are considered in the light of the EU Directive 2019/1158 on work-life balance for parents and carers. Some specific profiles of Italian smart working regulation are critically explored: the rights of priority in access to smart working and the risk of gender segregation, its prevalent regulation by individual agreement and the risk of weakening labour protection. In the third part the author reflects on the impact of the Covid-19 emergency rules about smart working and on the necessity of reforming the relevant legislation.
