What should an employee do if their employer fails to attend the Prefectural appointments for a Decreto Flussi application or refuses to sign the contract?
If the employer fails to show up for Prefectural appointments or refuses to proceed with the hiring contract, the worker must still attend the appointment at the Prefectura, report the employer's absence, and explicitly request to be evaluated for a residence permit for waiting for employment (permesso per attesa occupazione) so they can register on the employment lists.
