INPS Message 1652 dated 14 April 2017; vouchers and transitional period

As known, with decree No. 25/2017, approved in March by the Government and converted into law by Parliament (law No. 49/2017), the regulation regarding casual work has been repealed and, consequently, the abrogative referendum has been cancelled. INPS, with message No. 1652 dated 14 April 2017, has thus issued instructions to guide the operators in determining how to deal with vouchers purchased within the final abrogation period (31 December 2017). In particular, it clarified that employers will have the possibility to use all the job vouchers for which the purchase procedure is finalised within 17 March 2017 and to notify the work tasks, which must be carried out by 31 December 2017. Instead, it will not be possible to register through the casual work electronic procedure those work tasks that are not related to job vouchers whose purchase has been finalised within 17 March 2017. Solely for electronic vouchers, payments performed through the post office, bank wire transfer, F24 and payment portal after 17 March 2017 cannot be used and therefore they will be reimbursed by the competent local offices of INPS, upon verification of actual receipt of funds.
