The unlawful nature of abusing the right to take leave for assisting relatives, as provided by Article 33 of Law 104/1992, and the reasonable suspicion that an employee has misused such leave, justify the employer’s recourse to so-called “defensive” covert monitoring. The improper use of leave intended for assisting relatives constitutes just cause for dismissal, as it irreparably undermines the bond of trust essential for the continuation of the employment relationship.
In disputes concerning unlawful dismissal, the principle of aliunde perceptum is crucial in determining the amount of compensation owed to the employee. Proving that the former employee has received income from other work activities, even undeclared, may allow the company to reduce — and in some cases eliminate — the claimed amount.
The aliunde perceptum investigations conducted by Argo provide companies and law firms with technical and evidentiary support based on documented and legally admissible proof. Thanks to a team of certified investigators and professionals specialized in labor law, Argo carries out targeted, confidential, and fully compliant investigations aimed at identifying possible parallel work activities, undeclared income, or irregular employment situations.
