Validation of resignation by working parents also required during probation period

News Flash No. 24/2025

In Note No. 14744/2025, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies clarified that the validation of resignations referred to in Article 55, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree No. 151/2001 is also necessary during the probationary period.

The validation of resignations by the National Labor Inspectorate is part of a complex regulatory framework aimed at strengthening maternity and paternity rights, serving as a protective measure to guarantee the authenticity of the worker's wishes at a particularly delicate time in their family life. Validation is considered an important tool for guaranteeing the freedom of choice of working parents during the protected period. Consequently, the resignation of a pregnant worker or of a mother or father during the first three years of a child's life must be validated by the Labor Inspectorate or by the competent local labor inspection office, in accordance with Article 55, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree No. 151/2001, even if submitted during the probationary period.
