From today , the over 50s are obliged to have the reinforced green pass to work, whether they are public sector workers, private ones, employees or self-employed. For those who try to enter offices, shops or any other workplace, without green certification, the suspension from office and salary will be triggered.
These are the rules: Super green pass
The duration of the green pass is strengthened and unlimited for those who have received three doses of the vaccine or for those who have recovered from Covid and have had two doses.
The obligation of the super green pass strengthened for all workers over 50 is currently in force until June 15, 2022. Vaccination obligation
The decree law of 7 January 2022 extends the obligation to vaccinate against the Sars-Cov-2 virus “to Italian citizens and other EU Member States” and to all foreigners residing in Italy “who have completed their fiftieth year of age”. The obligation concerns the entire immunization cycle, therefore up to the third dose and had already been applied to specific categories: doctors, nurses, school staff, defense, security and public aid, secret services, penitentiary police, local police , staff of the RSA. Unjustified absence
The over 50 worker who communicates that he does not have the reinforced green pass is considered unjustified absent “without disciplinary consequences and with the right to retain the employment relationship” until he presents the certification “in any case no later than June 15, 2022”. For the days of unjustified absence “no salary or other remuneration or emolument is due”. The sanctions
The administrative sanction for being caught in the workplace without a reinforced green pass “is established in the payment of a sum from € 600 to € 1,500 and the disciplinary consequences according to the respective sector regulations remain unchanged”. In case of repeated violation, the sanction is doubled.
There is a penalty of 100 euros for those over 50 who, as of February 1, have not yet taken the first dose and for those who, after February 1, have not taken the second dose and for those who have not undergone to the recall “within the terms of validity of the Covid-19 green certifications”. The fines come with the file from the Revenue Agency. Controls
In case of omission, the inspectors risk a fine of between 400 and 1,000 euros. The exemptions
L’obbligo vaccinale “non sussiste in caso di accertato pericolo per la salute, in relazione a specifiche condizioni cliniche documentate, attestate dal medico di medicina generale dell’assistito o dal medico vaccinatore”. Nei casi comprovati la vaccinazione “puo essere omessa o differita”. Dal 7 febbraio le certificazioni di esenzione dalla vaccinazione vengono emesse esclusivamente in formato digitale, per consentire i controlli attraverso la scansione del QR code. Chi fosse in possesso di un certificato di esenzione cartaceo, ha tempo per chiedere la certificazione digitale entro il 27 febbraio.
For the period in which the vaccination is “omitted or deferred”, the worker can be assigned “even different tasks, without reducing the salary, in order to avoid the risk of spreading the infection from SARS-CoV-2”. Positivity
Having contracted Covid and then being cured of it determines the postponement of vaccination. In the event of a positive virus occurrence, the exemption certificates are revoked and then reactivated upon recovery.
