Background information

This measure is part of the Budget Law 2023, also called Law No. 197/2022. The Budget Law 2023 provides for many measures to contrast high energy costs and high prices. The measure was introduced to compensate for the non-payment of the deferral in renewing labour contracts, i.e. the contribution introduced by law in 1993 for the period between the expiry of a collective agreement (NCBA) and its renewal.

Content of measure

The allowance for public employees is 1.5% of gross salary. Beneficiaries of this measure are civil servants working in central administrations (i.e. the various ministries, tax agencies, non-economic entities such as INPS, INAIL and schools). As far as non-central public administrations are concerned, the bonus will be paid from their respective budgets.

The bonus will be paid in 13 monthly payments, directly in the pay slip, throughout 2023. It is clear that since the bonus is paid on a percentage of the salary, it will benefit higher incomes. Approximately €1 billion has been allocated to support this measure.
