Adjustment of contributions to the bilateral solidarity fund for professional activities

News No. 27/2024

In Official Gazzetta No. 159 of July 9, 2024, the "Decree of the Minister of Labor and Social Policies, in agreement with the Minister of Economy and Finance of May 21, 2024" was published, which provides for the adjustment of the Bilateral Solidarity Fund for professional activities.

The inter-ministerial decree of May 21, 2024, incorporates the content of the collective agreement signed on December 27, 2022, between Confprofessioni, Filcams CGIL, Fisascat CISL, and Uil-tucs. It also adjusts the regulations of the Bilateral Solidarity Fund for professional activities (established by the decree of the Minister of Labor and Social Policies) to align with the provisions on social safety nets during employment relationships, as per Law No. 234 of December 30, 2021, and subsequent amendments.

The normative provisions contained therein are fully effective from July 9, 2024.

Regarding the Fund's new regulations, the following points are highlighted.

Article 2 of the Inter-ministerial Decree of May 21, 2024, has redefined the scope of application of the Fund, which now extends to employers in the professional activities sector who employ at least one employee, whereas previously the required size criterion applied to employers with more than 3 employees.

Article 5 of the same inter-ministerial decree has expanded the pool of workers eligible for the protections guaranteed by the Fund, by including workers hired under any type of apprenticeship contract, and explicitly confirming the exclusion of executives.
