Approval of resignation by working parents is also required during the probationary period
News Flash No. 24/2025
In Note No. 14744/2025, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies clarified that the validation of a resignation, as provided for in Article 55, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree No. 151/2001, is also required during the probationary period.
The validation of resignations by the National Labor Inspectorate is part of a complex regulatory framework aimed at strengthening rights related to maternity and paternity, serving as a protective measure designed to ensure the genuine intent of the employee at a particularly sensitive time in family life. This validation is considered an important safeguard for the freedom of choice of working parents during the protected period. Consequently, the resignation of a pregnant employee or of a mother or father during the first three years of the child’s life must be validated by the Labor Inspectorate or by the locally competent labor inspection office, in accordance with Article 55, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree No. 151/2001, even if submitted during the probationary period.
