Disciplinary procedures
In case of conflicts arising during the employment relationship resulting from an employee’s misconduct, the Riviera law firm provides extra judicial and judicial assistance. Our law firm assists the employer in ensuring that the employee misconduct ends by establishing a disciplinary procedure and a possible sanction implementation. This action is taken following the regulations in force.
Individual and collective dismissal procedures
Our law firm, furthermore, offers legal assistance concerning individual and collective dismissal measures implementation. We focus all our attention on the conditions defining such dismissals to prevent the risk of disputes or, in the event of an appeal, to promote the positive outcome of an assessment judgment. The company receives comprehensive legal advice, from the initial case examination to the drafting and notice of measures taken. Additionally, the firm assists in managing judicial or extrajudicial appeals.
Corporate supplementary agreements
The Riviera law firm’s extensive experience makes it an ideal partner for the prior analysis of drafting second-level collective agreements, including corporate ones. The purpose of these agreements is mainly to integrate the content of the CCNL (National Collective Labour Agreement), a potentially valuable tool whose features need to be examined thoroughly. We also provide assistance and consulting on labour law and supplementary contracts to sign the so-called Employment agreement at a territorial or company level.
Gratuities and bonuses
Gratuities and bonuses are considered significant in terms of employees’ work motivation. Close attention is required when allocating rewards to prevent the risk of discriminatory treatment among employees, and the following related danger of extrajudicial or judicial actions by non-beneficiary employees who aim at obtaining the same treatment with resulting costs for the company. Therefore, linked to this topic, the Giovanna Riviera law firm works to pursue the merit-based aim while safeguarding the company’s interests.
Welfare programs
Work does not only mean earning a living but rather represents a way of expressing each citizen’s personality. The welfare concept encompasses goods and services available to workers and designed to improve their personal and professional lives. The labour law area also involves welfare management. The Riviera law firm advises and assists its clients in examining services, disbursements, performances, and benefits for employees and discussing and negotiating with them.
Stock option plans
Among the existing tools used for employee retention (especially at the executive level), stock option plans allow investments in businesses that employ through the share or stock purchase at a pre-established and fair price. The Riviera law firm would be glad, jointly with the company, to examine the option of such a solution to benefit all parties involved.
