With the new article 4 of Law 300/1970, rewritten by the Jobs Act, the obligation to adequately inform workers on the procedures for using equipment from which remote control of work activities and work instruments may occur as well as the procedures for performing controls becomes the requirement for being able to use information collected for all purposes connected with employment. This duty to inform is in addition to the already existing requirement to inform workers as per article 13 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 (so-called Privacy Code) on the purposes and procedures for processing their data. In light of the new provision, employers will be required to prepare a detailed and correct information notice for workers in order to be able to legally use any collected information, and thus avoiding the risks of sanctions and liability.
