Preliminary it is important to underline that the role of the Executive differs from the one of the employee. The Executive, according to the Italian law, is considered the alter ego of the director of the employer.

Challenging a dismissal means sending a registered letter to the registered address of the employer indicating clearly the objections. This tasks has to be provided by a lawyer in order to avoid formal or factual mistakes. Our labour lawyers often find an agreement in the out of court phase.

It is also possible that in the working contract are mentioned some essential targets and, if they are not reached by the Executive, he may be dismissed if this happened for his negligence or fault.
