Quanti giorni di smart working sono previsti a settimana?

How many remote working days are provided per week?

Pronunciation

'Smart working' is English; Italian professionals say it as in English. 'Previsti' = preh-VIS-ti.

When to use it

Ask this in any job offer discussion. Remote working days are now a standard part of Italian total compensation packages and significantly affect quality of life and commuting costs.

What it means

'Previsti' (provided/foreseen) is the natural Italian word for what is contractually included. Smart working days should ideally be specified in the employment contract ('accordo di smart working') signed separately.

Variations

Lo smart working è fisso o flessibile?

Is remote working fixed or flexible?

Asks whether days are pre-set or chosen week by week

È possibile lavorare da remoto da un'altra città?

Is it possible to work remotely from another city?

Important for those not living near the office

C'è un accordo formale sullo smart working?

Is there a formal agreement on remote working?

Under Italian law, smart working requires a written individual agreement

Cultural Note

Under Italian Law 81/2017, smart working ('lavoro agile') must be formalised with an individual agreement ('accordo individuale') specifying days, hours, tools and safety obligations. After COVID-19, 2-3 days per week became the standard in many Milan-based corporate roles.
