The Court of Cassation, Labour Section, with sentence No. 16460/2012, has granted the paid leave of three days to the father of a disabled son even if the mother is a housewife and the request is related to a period before the coming into effect of the law which provides this possibility. The above, since the right to the family affection also from the parent who works and the need to support the non-worker one give support to the decision of the Supreme Court which has stated that the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 151/2001 have to be granted also for the years previous the coming into effect of the Decree itself.
