The Lombardy Region has provided employment incentives for 2021 for employers who hire new staff, with the aim of boosting employment within the region.
Specifically, employers who have production units/operating sites located in the Lombardy Region and hire new employees can receive a contribution, differentiated according to the difficulty of access to the labor market for workers, as follows:
Workers up to 54 years of age = contribution of €5,000.00;
Female workers up to 54 years of age = contribution of €7,000.00 provided;
Workers aged 55 and over = contribution of €7,000.00;
Female workers aged 55 and over = contribution of €9,000.00.
An additional €1,000.00 is added to these amounts if the recruitment is carried out by an employer with fewer than 50 employees or by a company established or acquired by workers, including in the form of a cooperative, who come from companies in crisis (so-called "workers buyouts").
Employers who have suspended work due to a crisis or company reorganization are excluded from the subsidy, except in cases where the recruitment concerns workers classified at a different level from that of the suspended workers or to be employed in production units other than those affected by the suspension.
