hand-delivered registered letter; certified e-mail) does not impose a \u201cprescribed form\u201d within the meaning and for the purposes of Article 1352 of the Civil Code, but it merely regulates the manner in which the disciplinary dismissal is brought to the employee\u2019s attention, thus the exclusive transmission stage.<\/p>\n<p>This means that, in the absence of specific provisions in the national collective bargaining agreement, notification of disciplinary dismissal given by means other than those listed in the collective agreement \u2013 for example, by standard e-mail (as in the present case) \u2013 does not affect the validity of the employer\u2019s written notice of termination of the employment relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, according to the Court's reasoning, what is essential for the dismissal to be valid is that it is in writing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CASSAZIONE: QUANDO IL LICENZIAMENTO DISCIPLINARE COMUNICATO CON E-MAIL ORDINARIA E&#8217;
