Law no. 9/2012 (so called “Fornero Law”) extends to father employees, from January 1, 2013, one day leave compulsory (more two days as optional) for the birth of the son/daughter which can be enjoyed within the first five months of the latter. In this regard, the so called “Development Decree” should set an easier procedure for the sending of the medical certificate in case of absence of the employee for the illness of his/her son/daughter and the so called “Anti-offences EU Decree” should allow to enjoy parental leaves, within the first eight years of the child, also on hourly basis during the working days.
