Italian Supreme Court legal rulings

Overview

The Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) has issued several rulings impacting labor rights and property compensation.

In matters of labor law, the Court ruled that employers must calculate social security contributions based on the highest-paid collective agreement when multiple agreements exist, rather than a lower-wage option. Additionally, the Court addressed annual leave, determining that pay differentials during vacation must be significant enough to act as an effective deterrent against not taking leave. It specifically found a 3.37% difference insufficient to meet EU standards for maintaining ordinary remuneration.

Regarding property rights, the Court specified that a 10% increase in expropriation indemnity must be applied automatically by judges when legal requirements are met, even if the total exceeds the property’s market value.
