Sacked while on sick leave: Italian court orders compensation
Original: malattia
An Italian worker was fired after his boss found him playing five-a-side football while officially on sick leave. A tribunal ruled the dismissal unlawful, deciding he must be compensated with around 12,000 euros. The case, reported by Il Messaggero, has drawn attention in Italy, where it feeds an ongoing debate over employees' rights during illness and how far employers can go in checking on absent staff.
Why now: An Italian court's ruling against a dismissal based on a sick-leave check has reignited debate over workers' rights during illness.
