With sentence number 17113 of 2016, the “Court of Cassation” (the highest court of appeal in Italy) states that the use of private investigators by the employer to find out whether the employee’s illness is true is legit. In this way the employer can use private investigators to find out whether what is written on the employee’s disease certificate is true or not.

According to the judges of the Supreme Court, if the employer deems it is appropriate, he has the right to recourse to a private investigator to check whether the report on the certificate of illness is reliable and credible. 

The employer who has a well-founded suspicion that the employee is using the permits of law 104 for purposes other than assistance to the relative, can check it through the private investigator: the evidence gathered can be used to justify dismissal.

The employer can hire a private investigator to stalk the employee if he has a well-founded suspicion that he is not benefiting from the law 104 in a proper manner.

Furthermore, if investigations reveal that the employee actually uses the permits for activities other than those permitted, the employer can legitimately proceed with dismissal.

The Supreme Court has stated several times that the improper use of the permits from the law 104, like going on vacation or even carrying on another job, is an abuse of rights and is therefore an offense for which the employer can proceed with control activities , also through a private investigator.

The permits of the law 104 are in fact granted to the worker for the assistance of a relative with a disability and not to take care of his own personal interests, causing the detriment on the company.

The control is permitted if there is a well-founded suspicion that the employee is committing an offense and it is therefore necessary to protect the company assets (for example from theft, tampering of badges, files or other corporate assets embezzlement, etc..).

On the other hand the Statute of Workers forbids  the control of the correct performance of duties. The employer cannot monitor employees in order to verify the fulfilment of the obligations expected from the contract.

– Article 615 Bis of the CP: “Illicit interference in private life" . Provided from six months to four years imprisonment.
