Article 73-ter – Renewal of this CCNL for the years after 2025 and contractual minimum salaries

by OpenBox | 21-05-2024

The signatories to this agreement may give further effect to the CCNL for the years following 2025 if none of the signatory parties formally terminates it within three months of the end of the year of expiry (by the end of September). Therefore, by way of example, in the absence of a formal termination by September of the year 2025, the effectiveness of the CCNL will continue also for the year 2026, and in June the parties will define any increases in the contractual minimums under the conditions described in Article 73-bis.

If on the other hand one of the parties intends to terminate the contract and gives formal notice of termination, for example in September 2026, the CCNL shall cease under the conditions set out below on 31 December of that year, and in June of the following year only any salary differential arising for the year 2026 from the comparison between the expected and actual HICPs shall be recognised.

Article 73-bis – Annual renewal and contractual minimum salaries for the year 2025

by OpenBox | 21-05-2024

Unless formally terminated by one of the stipulating parties within three months of its natural expiry, this CCNL shall be deemed renewed also for the year 2025, even if there is a platform for the renewal of the CCNL. In this case, the parties shall meet in June 2025 to determine the value of the increase of contractual minimum starting from 1 July 2025 based on the data provided by ISTAT, taken from the “HICP net of energy” index for the year 2025 (expected HICP). The “HICP net of imported energy” index will be applied to the contractual minimum consisting of the standard minimum and contingency allowance. 

This clause has no impact on the forecast of the 2021-2024 Final Balance provision, which will have to be applied in any case.

In June 2026, based on the same index, the HICP balance having been settled for the year 2025, any increase in the contractual minimums will be determined, which will take effect on 1 July 2026 if the differential between the expected and actual HICP is positive. If on the other hand the comparison between the expected and the actual HICP index for the year 2025 should turn out to be negative, no increase in the minimum contractual amount shall be made and any surplus shall be recovered from the salary increases to be defined at the time of the renewal of the CCNL.

Article 73 – Contractual minimum salaries

by OpenBox | 21-05-2024

The increases in the contractual minimums for the renewal of the CCNL were determined based on the increases of the ISTAT index called “IPCA net of energy”, operating on the salary levels of the average sector classification (level 2, parameter 109), then reparametrising these values to the various classification levels according to the parametric scale in the previous CCNL (100-220).

The increase in the contractual minimums of level 2 is a total of € 120 gross for the 2021-2024 contractual term, broken down as follows:

• 1 July 2021 € 40 gross
• 1 July 2022 € 20 gross
• 1 July 2023 € 30 gross
• 1 July 2024 € 20 gross
• 1 July 2025 € 10 gross

ECONOMIC INCREASES

With effect from 1 July 2021, the contractual minimums, consisting of the standard wage and contingency allowance, will therefore be determined as follows:

With effect from 1 July 2022, the contractual minimums, consisting of the standard wage and contingency allowance, will be determined as follows:

With effect from 1 July 2023, the contractual minimums, consisting of the standard wage and contingency allowance, will be determined as follows:

With effect from 1 July 2024, the contractual minimums, consisting of the standard wage and contingency allowance, will be determined as follows:

With effect from 1 July 2025, the contractual minimums, consisting of the standard wage and contingency allowance, will be determined as follows:

2021-2024 Final Balance.

In June 2025, irrespective of whether or not this CCNL remains in force, the parties will check for any deviation between the HICP index net of energy taken into account on the date of stipulation and the corresponding HICP index actually recorded during the period. If the amount of the HICP adjustment calculated on the basis of a total inflation in the years 2021-2024 of 3.9% differs from the amounts of the total increases calculated with the HICP index actually recorded in the years 2021-2024, the amounts contained in the 1 July 2025 table will be adjusted accordingly. In consideration of the period of time that has elapsed since the last contractual renewal and taking into account the indexation criteria of the contractual minimums adopted for this renewal, should the comparison between the HICP index considered and the actual index be negative, any recovery of the surplus shall be made based on the salary increases to be defined with the renewal of the CCNL.

Example of the 2021-2024 HICP final balance calculation:

In July 2025, in addition to the amount envisaged in the last tranche (€10), a further sum will possibly be paid in settlement of the contractual term if the HICP recorded during the period exceeds the value of 3.9%.

Examples:

1. HICP recorder in the years 2021 – 2024 higher than 3,9% payment of € 10 (of the tranche) + HICP balance
   Application:
   HICP recorded in 2021 – 2024 equal to 4,7 % -> payment € 10 (tranche) + € 9,38 (HICP balance) = € 19,38
   (underlying formula: 3,9% : 45,75 = 4,7% : X ; X = 55,13 ; 55,13 – 45,75 = € 9,38
2. HICP recorded in the years 2021-2024 equal to 3.9% -> payment € 10 (of the tranche)
3. HICP recorded in the years 2021 – 2024 lower than 3,9% -> payment € 10 (of the tranche)

Article 72 – Effective date and duration

by OpenBox | 21-05-2024

Without prejudice to the terms and durations envisaged for individual provisions, this agreement shall commence on the date it is signed and shall remain in force until 31 December 2024.

If not formally terminated in the three months prior to expiry, the contract will be deemed renewed from year to year, and in this case the provisions set out in Articles 73-bis and 73-ter shall apply.

In the event of termination this contract shall continue to be effective as regards economic and regulatory aspects until it is replaced by the next national collective contract, with the exception of the provisions of Articles 73-bis and 73-ter.

The provisions contained in Article 3 of this contract relating to the procedures for the renewal of the CCNL are hereby expressly referred to, which do not make the commencement of the renewal procedures subject to the formal termination thereof, and which commit the parties to give continuity to the contractual renewals, without prejudice to the right of the Parties to determine the commencement and validity of the renewals.
