Pursuant to article 2103 of the Italian Civil Code as recently reformed, the employer can enter into an individual settlement agreement with the employee – to be signed in front of public authorities – providing for the change of the duties, the legal category of employment and the contractual enrollment as well as the relevant salary. The foregoing may occur in the sole interest of the concerned employee to (i) keep his job or (ii) acquire a different professionalism or even (iii) improve his life conditions.
