What is useful for the worker to know in order to defend their rights?

The success of a lawsuit or the loss of rights depends on:

  • the evidence that can be presented to the judge,
  • adhering to deadlines to avoid losing rights,
  • precautions to avoid compromising one's defence.


Therefore, do not wait to:

  • write down the facts useful for legal action during the employment relationship or, at the latest, as soon as it ends. The description must be precise and truthful.
  • identify the people useful for the trial: who the actual employer is, who the perpetrators of the facts in question are, who was present at the events, who can remember the facts in court.



Collect and retain evidence:

  • continue

    • keep all labour documents: employment contract, pay slips, transfer notices, medical certificates, letter of change of contract or duties, dismissal letter and any letter from the employer, etc. 
    • keep certificates: obtain any medical, public office or company certificates that can attest to the truth of the facts to be proven (e.g. illness certificates proving the consequences of unfavourable working conditions)
    • search for witnesses: names, addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses in relation to individual circumstances
    • attention: your statements in the case are not evidence in your favour but only possibly against you.

Avoid manipulation of evidence: 

  • continue

    • keep all labour documents: employment contract, pay slips, transfer notices, medical certificates, letter of change of contract or duties, dismissal letter and any letter from the employer, etc. 
    • keep certificates: obtain any medical, public office or company certificates that can attest to the truth of the facts to be proven (e.g. illness certificates proving the consequences of unfavourable working conditions)
    • search for witnesses: names, addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses in relation to individual circumstances
    • attention: your statements in the case are not evidence in your favour but only possibly against you.

Don't compromise your position:

  • continue

    • keep all labour documents: employment contract, pay slips, transfer notices, medical certificates, letter of change of contract or duties, dismissal letter and any letter from the employer, etc. 
    • keep certificates: obtain any medical, public office or company certificates that can attest to the truth of the facts to be proven (e.g. illness certificates proving the consequences of unfavourable working conditions)
    • search for witnesses: names, addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses in relation to individual circumstances
    • attention: your statements in the case are not evidence in your favour but only possibly against you.

Don't lose your rights:

  • continue

    • put in writing the facts useful for legal action already during the employment relationship or, at the latest, as soon as it has ended. The description should be accurate and truthful. 
    • identify the persons useful for a lawsuit: who is the actual employer, who are the authors of the facts in question, who was present at the events, who is able to recall the facts in court.

Guide to Compensation

Anyone who suffers damage in the course of or as a result of work is entitled, in the case of third-party liability, to additional compensation beyond that provided by INAIL.

The damage must be proven and quantified in order to allow for the request of compensation proportional to its extent.

  • continue

    The quantification of damages varies according to the good that is impaired:

    • biological damage: injury to health (psychophysical integrity)
    • moral damage: suffering, pain of mind
    • existential damage: injury to personal values
    • occupational damage: loss of general and specific working capacity
    • pecuniary damage: expenses incurred and loss of earnings

    The criteria for quantifying damages vary according to the nature of the injured good:

    • pecuniary damage based on documentation
    • biological damage by medical-legal expertise and certifications
    • other damages with documents and texts
