Can an application for the conversion of a seasonal work permit to a subordinate work permit be denied due to the employer's unpaid INPS social security contributions?
No. According to administrative case law (such as TAR rulings), an employer's failure to pay social security contributions cannot be held against the worker, as the worker is the injured party and cannot remedy the employer's default.
