Italy - termination

During the probation period, there is no need to respect a notice period.
Dismissal during the probation period is not included in the numerical limits provided for collective dismissal. 

In case of dismissal involving more than 4 employees in 120-day period, it is necessary to comply with the procedure for collective dismissal (involving Trade Unions and the duration of the procedure can be up to 75 days).

The day of informing the employee of the termination should be the same day termination to avoid the running off to sick leave practice .
The employee can stay on sick leave (partially paid by the company in part by INPS) for up to 6 months. After that, company can dismiss the employee.
 
For fixed-term employment, there is no notice period established by CBA because the parties have already agreed on a final term. In the case of termination communicated by the company before the original term, the employee could claim damages in an amount equal to the wages not received due to the termination.
