retaliatory or discriminatory, which will give rise to a sentence condemning the employer and, if necessary, to the reinstatement of the worker in the workplace and restoration of the original situation.<br \/>Retaliatory dismissal is well known in Italian jurisprudence which, with a consolidated orientation, establishes that in order to obtain recognition of the retaliatory nature of the contested act, two elements must be used:<br \/><b>1.<\/b> the reason for retaliation (or unlawful reason);<br \/><b>2.<\/b> the absence of other reasons determining the withdrawal, that is, the exclusivity of the reason. Also, again for the case law, the worker who contests the retaliatory nature of the dismissal has the burden, entirely at his own expense, of proving, with sufficient certainty and specific elements, both the intent of retaliation, and that this intent was effective. determinative and exclusive of the expulsive will of the employer.<br \/>Also, again for the case law, the worker who contests the retaliatory nature of the dismissal has the burden, entirely at his own expense, of proving, with sufficient certainty and specific elements, both the intent of retaliation, and that this intent was effective . determinative and exclusive of the expulsive will of the employer.

In light of the foregoing, in fact, <strong>each employer<\/strong> will be required to carefully and preventively assess any and all initiatives aimed at modifying the employment relationship of the personnel involved in a whistleblowing process. The greatest risk is represented by the possibility that even completely legitimate and protectable measures, as justified by the recurrence of exquisitely entrepreneurial needs, for the simple fact of involving a whistleblower, may fall into the meshes of the new discipline in the matter of burden of proof .\nThe most trivial example is represented by the need to <strong>transfer or vary the

afflicting a whistleblower, while in the past it was the employee&#8217;s responsibility to demonstrate the retaliatory nature of the employer&#8217;s initiative in a timely and convincing manner, also risking the sentence to pay the costs of the trial in the event of lack of proof, today the entire process justification will be paid by the
