The provisions introduced by Legislative Decree 10 March 2023 n. 24 significantly extend the scope of application of the previous legislation on the subject of whistleblowing. Among the innovations introduced, of particular importance is the provision of the mandatory nature of the regulation itself not only for entities operating in the public sector, but also for all private companies that present a series of requirements.
The Legislative Decree in question provides, in addition to further forms of protection for the person making a report, a series of obligations for the entity.
Pursuant to art. 24 of the aforementioned Legislative Decree 24/2023, the deadline for complying with the provisions of the new legislation is:
a) 15 July 2023 for public companies, as well as those in the private sector which, over the last year, have employed more than 250 subordinate workers with permanent or fixed-term employment contracts;
b) 17 December 2023 only for private sector companies that, in the last year, have employed fewer than 250 workers.
