Article 26 – Work clothes and uniform

WORKING CLOTHES

The companies will provide 2 overalls or 2 shirts and 2 trousers or 2 equivalent garments each year free of charge for all workers. 

The company shall agree at the company level with the unitary union representative body, or, if not yet established, with the company union representatives, on the possible provision of additional clothing in relation to the degree of risk to the health and safety of the worker for the work required. 

The company will provide raincoats with appropriate headgear for those workers who are forced to work in the rain. 

Workers are obliged to maintain the clothing entrusted to them in good repair, and to wear the clothing provided to them while on duty. 

UNIFORM 

If the activity performed requires the provision of a uniform, which is indispensable for the performance of the work, this will be provided by the company in line with wear and tear and in any case every two years. 

In the event of termination of employment the worker must return the uniform, otherwise its cost will be charged to the worker. 

The current occupational safety regulations apply. 

Article 25 – Staff lodging

Personnel who are asked by the company to remain available on the company’s premises will be granted lodging free of charge.

Article 24 – Miscellaneous allowances

MEANS OF TRANSPORT ALLOWANCE 

The company shall pay the worker who uses their own vehicle for work a monthly allowance to be agreed to by the relevant regional trade union organisations. 

DIFFICULT WORKING CONDITIONS ALLOWANCE 

A special allowance in the amount of 15% of the standard wage shall be paid for each day during which workers must clean using a lifting beam or bridge or overhead ladder or so-called sectional ladders. 

HIGH MOUNTAIN ALLOWANCE 

For workers sent to work outside their normal place of work in high mountain locations, the company shall pay an equitable allowance to be agreed to by the respective competent regional trade union organisations.

ALLOWANCE FOR DISTANCE FROM INHABITED AREAS 

If the location of the company’s premises is more than 3 km from the perimeter of the nearest inhabited centre, in the absence of public means of transport the company that does not provide transport itself must pay an allowance to be agreed to by the respective competent regional trade union organisations. 

ALLOWANCE FOR HANDLING MONEY 

A worker who normally handles money with charges for errors will be paid an allowance of 3% of the standard category salary. Interest from any security deposit shall accrue to the benefit of the employee. 

Personnel normally in charge of collecting bills, invoices, notes, etc. in excess of €4.65 shall be paid an allowance at the rate of 5% of their basic salary. 

SLAG AND BLAST FURNACE DUST REMOVAL ALLOWANCE 

Workers cleaning slag and dust from blast furnaces will receive an allowance of €0.05 per hour of work from the company. 

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT CLEANING ALLOWANCE 

For workers engaged in cleaning only industrial work areas, the company will pay an allowance of €0.036 per hour of work. 

The latter two allowances must also be considered when calculating the indemnity in lieu of notice, severance pay, holidays and the 13th and 14th months’ pay. 

CLARIFICATION FOR THE RECORD 

The parties acknowledge that the expression “cleaning only industrial work areas” refers exclusively to the work done in those parts of the facilities where the actual industrial activity takes place. 

The allowance is therefore not due to personnel who, while working inside industrial facilities, are assigned to clean areas or rooms where no production operations are carried out, such as internal and external courtyards, restrooms, offices, etc. 

REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES 

A worker who is ordered for work or in connection therewith to travel from one place of work to another shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred, if such travel is not by means of transport provided by the company. 

RADIOACTIVE ENVIRONMENT CLEANING ALLOWANCE 

Personnel professionally exposed to radiation hazards (Alpha – Beta – Gamma – X-rays) will be paid an allowance of € 0.12 per hour worked in specific controlled areas (nuclear reactors in operation – radio treatment – elements, radioisotopes). 

This allowance is also to be considered when calculating holidays, seniority, 13th and 14th months’ pay and indemnity in lieu of notice. 

UNDERGROUND WORK ALLOWANCE 

Workers performing work in tunnels, canals, galleries, unventilated underground spaces will be paid an allowance of € 0.03 per hour of work, which cannot be combined with other similar allowances. 

CLARIFICATION FOR THE RECORD 

In view of the special technical characteristics that do not recur in similar activities, for work carried out in metro stations in premises that are below street level (stations, passageways, etc.) an hourly allowance of € 0.03 will be paid to staff, which cannot be combined with the allowance for underground work. 

This allowance is not due to staff who work in the metro stations or along the lines of the metro but carry out their activities outdoors or under a canopy. 

AIRPORT ALLOWANCE 

At the provincial level, the stipulating parties may agree on a daily allowance for workers who work exclusively at the airport, the amount of which shall absorb any other allowances already paid for any reason up to the amount of the allowance. 

Article 22 – Biennial increases for white-collar workers and flat rate sectoral seniority allowances for blue-collar workers

BIENNIAL INCREASES FOR WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS 

For each two-year period of work with the same company, white-collar workers shall be entitled to an increase of 6.25% calculated on the standard salary of the level they belong to in force at the time the increase is accrued and on the contingency allowance as of 1.8.83 (€ 279.60). 

The white-collar worker has the right to accrue a maximum of 8 two-year increases, up to 50% of the standard salary of the last level and the contingency allowance as of 1.8.83. These periodic increases cannot be absorbed by previous or subsequent merit allowances, nor can merit increases be absorbed by periodic increases granted or to be granted. 

Periodic increases start on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which the two-year period is completed. 

In the case of a change of level, the employee keeps the amount in figures of the in creases accrued in the original level. 

The fraction of the two-year period past at the time of this transition is useful for the purposes of accruing the next periodic increase. 

The periodic increases referred to in this Article absorb increases already granted for the same reason. 

For white-collar workers already in force as at 31/05/2011, the EDAR benefit referred to in the CCNL of 19/12/2007 will be maintained as a personal benefit and will be absorbed when the first increase is reached following the signing of this CCNL.

FLAT-RATE SECTORAL SENIORITY ALLOWANCES FOR BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS 

In consideration of the specificity of the sector characterised by contracts of a predetermined duration, workers will be granted a flat-rate sectoral seniority allowance paid in the fixed amounts set forth in the table annexed to this CCNL. This flat-rate sectoral seniority allowance is established as a single fixed amount, with no further increases, as envisaged in Article 22 of the CCNL of 25 May 2001 and previous CCNLs. 

The value corresponding to the flat-rate sectoral seniority allowance shall be kept separate from the standard salary and shall be taken into account for the purposes of overtime, holidays, 13th month, 14th month, indemnity in lieu of notice, severance pay, sickness and injury. 

The flat-rate sectoral seniority allowance will not be paid for the first four years in the sector. 

Starting from the fifth year, without interruption of employment in the sector, without prejudice to contract changes, it shall be paid according to the amounts envisaged in the table annexed to this CCNL. 

At the worker’s request, the company will issue a certificate attesting to the employee’s length of service with the company. 

For workers already in force who as at 31/05/2011, did not receive the flat-rate sectoral seniority allowance, the EDAR benefit referred to in the CCNL of 19 December 2007 will be maintained as a personal benefit and will be absorbed when reaching four years of seniority in the sector, as envisaged in this article.
