Supreme Court allows partial appeal regarding mayor's salary reduction requiring equal notice period.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court partially dismissed the cassation appeal, setting aside the lower court's rejection of the claim for salary reduction notice. The plaintiff, a mayor, argued that the City Council's unilateral reduction of his functional allowance violated labor law protections absent in election-based contracts. The court ruled that while Article 42 of the Labor Code does not strictly apply to elected officials, the principle of protecting employees from detrimental changes requires an equivalent notice period via analogy.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAArt. 42 § 2 k.p.; Art. 398 § 14 k.p.c.: Although Article 42 of the Labor Code does not directly apply to employees hired by election, the reduction of their remuneration requires a notice period equal to the statutory notice period, applied by analogy to protect the employee's rights.
