Italy's highest court has ruled that watching pornography at work during your lunch break is not a fireable offense, The Telegraph reports.

The ruling comes after a factory worker for the car manufacturer Fiat was fired in 2008 for watching pornography on his personal computer.

The employee, identified in court documents as Giuseppe Z, was caught watching a hardcore DVD on his laptop. However, The Supreme Court ruled that the worker was free to do what he wanted on his lunch break.

Judges in Rome noted that watching the video had not "interfered with the rest of his shift," and he had enjoyed "just a glimpse of the film during a meal break."
