I controlli della malattia

The article addresses the topic of disease checks, starting from Del Punta's writings on "The suspension of the employment relationship" of 1992 and on "Disease checks" of 2004, analyzing the discipline provided for by the art. 5 of the Workers' Statute and subsequent implementation measures. In particular, it analyzes the provision of on-call time slots, with the related obligation on the worker, the justified reason for absence and the sanctions for unjustified absence. Finally, it focuses on the relevance of the worker's extra-work behaviors during sick leave and the related non-health checks.
