Flash News n.18/2023

Subject: CCNL February 5, 2021 for the Metalworking and Plant Installation Industry – Minimum contractual wages in force from June 1, 2023 – Effects

On June 16, 2023, Federmeccanica officially announced that the parties signing the National Collective Labor Agreement for the sector have formalized the new increases in the minimums, updating the values of the transfer allowance and the availability allowance.

In fact, it was noted that the IPCA (Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices for the Countries of the European Union) for 2022 net of important energy products, was equal to 6.6%, therefore higher than the percentage increase in the minimum reference tables already foreseen.

As per the News from Federmeccanica prot. n. 23 of May 17, 2021, consistent with the function of the CCNL to guarantee the TEM, the rule that expressly provides that the increases in the minimum salariesabsorb the fixed amounts that may have been recognized in the company after January 1, 2017, thus protecting the role entrusted to company bargaining in the distribution of wealth that may have been produced, excluding from the absorptions the salary amounts recognized in relation to the methods of carrying out the service (overtime, night work, shifts, holidays, multi-week hours, etc.). At the same time, the CCNLprovides for the absorption of individual increases recognized, again after January 1, 2017, unless these are increases granted with an express clause of non-absorbability.

The contractual organizational model introduced in 2016 has reserved to national bargaining (carried out by the social parties signing the collective agreement alone) the function of achieving minimum guarantees over time also as a result of the absorptions mentioned above, while it has entrusted to company bargaining a redistributive function solely through “totally variable performance bonuses”.

Consequently, the new minimum table wages are confirmed below starting from June 1, 2023 (see the last column on the right):
