The essay reconstructs the complex regulatory development of staff leasing, not initially regulated under Law no. 196/97 (so called Treu Pack), on the legalisation of temporary agency work, and was introduced into the Italian legal system by delegated decree no. 276/03 (the so-called Biagi Decree). As regards the specific elements justifying and distinguishing the use of this contract, rather the fixed-term agency work, staff leasing has been the object of multiple different regulatory interventions. However, one could observe that, as it was considered capable of undermining the legal principles on the use of the workforce, this contract was given too much attention in relation to its actual quantitative impact on the market. In this regard, after being abolished by Law no. 247/07, it was reintroduced by Law 191/09 two years later. Today, with delegated decree no. 81/15, in the context of the so-called Jobs Act, the differences that have always characterised this contract and the interpretative problems stemming from the previous regulation have been overcome, with new opportunities for its dissemination. The only limit is the requirement that the employees assigned under a staff-leasing agreement need to be employed by the agency with a permanent employment contract.
Il saggio ricostruisce la complessa vicenda normativa dello staff leasing, inizialmente non previsto dalla l. n. 196/97 (cd. pacchetto Treu) sulla legalizzazione del lavoro temporaneo tramite agenzia e poi introdotto nell’ordinamento italiano dal d.lgs. n. 276/03 (cd. decreto Biagi). Sempre disciplinato in modo diverso, quanto ai casi di legittimo ricorso, rispetto al lavoro temporaneo tramite agenzia (cd. somministrazione di lavoro a tempo determinato), l’istituto, ritenuto in grado di sovvertire i principi generali dell’ordinamento sull’uso della forza lavoro, è stato oggetto di attenzioni forse eccessive rispetto al suo impatto quantitativo sul mercato, venendo finanche abrogato dalla l. n. 247/07 e poi reintrodotto due anni dopo dalla l. n. 191/09. Oggi con il d.lgs. n. 81/15, nell’ambito del cd. Jobs Act, vengono superate le diffidenze che lo hanno sempre circondato e i problemi interpretativi legati alla precedente disciplina: si aprono così nuove prospettive per la sua diffusione, riconoscendosi come vero limite posto a tutela dell’interesse dei lavoratori coinvolti l’obbligo di impiegare nel contratto commerciale solo lavoratori assunti a tempo indeterminato dall’agenzia di somministrazione.

Abstract
The essay reconstructs the complex regulatory development of staff leasing, not initially regulated under Law no. 196/97 (so called Treu Pack), on the legalisation of temporary agency work, and was introduced into the Italian legal system by delegated decree no. 276/03 (the so-called Biagi Decree). As regards the specific elements justifying and distinguishing the use of this contract, rather the fixed-term agency work, staff leasing has been the object of multiple different regulatory interventions. However, one could observe that, as it was considered capable of undermining the legal principles on the use of the workforce, this contract was given too much attention in relation to its actual quantitative impact on the market. In this regard, after being abolished by Law no. 247/07, it was reintroduced by Law 191/09 two years later. Today, with delegated decree no. 81/15, in the context of the so-called Jobs Act, the differences that have always characterised this contract and the interpretative problems stemming from the previous regulation have been overcome, with new opportunities for its dissemination. The only limit is the requirement that the employees assigned under a staff-leasing agreement need to be employed by the agency with a permanent employment contract.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
