Sanctionatory consequences deriving from the violation of the obligation of reasonable accommodations in Italian labour law

Abstract

After having revisited the limits that preside over the exercise of an employer’s power of dismissal, in light of the definition of ‘disability’ and ‘reasonable accommodations’, this paper focuses on the need to reassess this specialized discipline in an anti-discriminatory key, also in order to determine the sanctionatory consequences deriving from the violation of the obligations that rest on the employer.
