The Italian regulatory framework for smart working, primarily governed by Law 81/2017, has undergone profound evolution, accelerated by recent global demands for flexibility. Gryphus Law assists companies and employees in drafting individual agreements, which are the key tool for defining the modalities for performing work outside of company premises. The firm ensures that these agreements respect the alternation between periods inside and outside the company and clearly define the employer's powers of control, ensuring a transition to agile working models that is legally sound and geared toward achieving production objectives.

Closely connected to smart working is the right to disconnect, an essential principle for protecting the worker's mental and physical health and ensuring compliance with rest periods. The law requires that individual agreements identify the technical and organizational measures necessary to ensure that employees can deactivate their communication devices without facing disciplinary or salary repercussions. Gryphus Law supports companies in implementing clear corporate policies that establish availability hours and offline procedures, thus preventing the risk of burnout and litigation related to exceeding maximum working hours.

Managing workplace safety during smart working represents another complex legal challenge. The employer remains responsible for employee health even when work is performed at locations other than the usual workplace, but the legislation simplifies disclosure requirements. The law firm assists companies in preparing annual risk reports on general and specific risks, coordinating the risk assessment with the Head of Prevention and Protection Services (RSPP). This preventative approach is essential to limit employer liability in the event of accidents occurring during smart working.

Regarding confidentiality and data protection, smart working requires strict compliance with the GDPR and the Workers' Statute. Employers must provide adequate technological tools and precise instructions on how to handle company information outside the secure office perimeter. Gryphus Law advises on the adoption of internal regulations governing the use of technological assets, ensuring that performance monitoring does not become hidden and prohibited remote control. Properly configuring IT security measures and data access policies is vital to protecting employee confidentiality and privacy.

In disputes regarding overtime compensation or the unilateral revocation of smart working, legal assistance is crucial to correctly interpreting contractual clauses. Gryphus Law offers both out-of-court and in-court defense, analyzing whether the work methods have respected the specific criteria of autonomy and flexibility. Relying on competent professionals allows you to balance the need to modernize business processes with the protection of fundamental worker rights, creating a digital work environment that is fair, productive, and fully compliant with applicable laws.
