My contract expires, still work?

I am a foreign worker hired by a company with a fixed-term contract which expires tomorrow. My employer asked me to work again next week, but we have not yet signed a new contract. It is something legal?

Rome - September 22, 2010 - the fixed-term employment contract may be concluded only in certain cases, well-governed by law, the employer, in fact, can use this tool when there are objective reasons for production order or organization or even for replace workers, such as maternity or sickness.

Of course it is necessary that the contract be in writing and shall indicate the reasons why they are important assumption in time and must specify the initial and final term of the contract. However, the duration can not exceed 36 months.

In your case, your employer actually wants to extend the employment relationship, but this may only be granted where there are objective about the work the work for which you have subscribed to the old contract.

Your consent is required, it should be before or contemporaneous to the extension, and agree that you do put in writing that the employment is extended, indicating the starting and ending.

There will be an extension only once, when the initial contract has a duration of less than three years and with the consent of the worker in this case the total duration of employment, more initial term extension may not exceed 3 years.

In case of extension of employment law sets a deadline for its continuation beyond the expiry of the contract: a period of 20 days if the contract had a duration less than 6 months and 30 days in other cases.

If the employer needs you more time, will have to renew (not extend) your contract term. If she does and makes you work more than 20 or 30 days after the deadline, your contract will automatically be turned on indefinitely, as of the end.
