Exceptional Redundancy Fund: agreements up to 8 months (Il Sole 24 Ore, June 28, 2014, page 4)

On June 27, 2014, the Ministry of Labour asked Regions and Autonomous Provinces in 2014 not to reach agreements in 2014 for Exceptional Redundancy Fund (so called “CIG in deroga”) with a duration higher than eight months. The above maximum period will be required by the new decree on Exceptional Redundancy Fund, currently still under approval. With regard to the granting of the mobility treatments, the maximum limits provided by the Ministry will be 7 months (up to 10 months in the South) for those employees who benefited of the treatment for less than three years, while 5 (8 months in the South) for those who have already benefited for more than three years.
