The procedures for application of the non-recurring one-time payment established by the Renewal of the National Labour Collective Agreement for the private metalworking sector and the mechanical engineering and plant installation sector have been specified

On 19 January 2017, following the successful outcome of the certified workers’ consultation, the Renewal of the National Labour Collective Agreement for the private metalworking sector and mechanical engineering and plant installation sector was officially signed and therefore now fully effective. On that occasion, the Parties also defined the contractual text concerning the gross non-recurrent one-time payment of Euro 80 to be paid with the salary related to the month of March 2017 to the workers employed as of 1 March 2017. Specifically, these Euro 80 are subdivided into monthly installments depending on the duration of the relationship in the period from 1 January to 31 March 2017. It was stated that a portion of a month longer than 15 days is to be considered as a full month. For the purpose of determining the non-recurrent one-time payment, all the periods of suspension from work or time reduction from work due to illness, injury, pregnancy and childbirth, parental leave, and marriage leave including all type of Redundancy Fund (CIG), are used. Instead, unpaid leave is not used for the aforementioned purpose. It is an amount that includes a direct and indirect impact and it is excluded from the basis of the severance indemnity calculation.
