This document briefly outlines some important changes concerning mandatory placement and the calculation of severance pay (known as the "severance ticket").
New amount of exemption contribution for disabled persons under Law 68/99 and update of administrative penalties
Labor Minister Orlando has signed two important measures concerning targeted job placement. This was announced in a statement issued by the ministry itself.
Specifically, the first of these measures concerns the amount payable in the event of authorization for partial exemption pursuant to Article 5 of Law 68/99, which is payable for each disabled person not hired.
In particular, the measure provides for "theadjustment to €39.21 of the amount of the exemption contribution owed by private employers and public economic entities, in the presence of special conditions of their activity, to be partially exempted from the obligation to hire the entire percentage of disabled persons prescribed, paying to the Regional Fund for the Employment of Disabled Persons an exemption contribution for each unit not hired for each working day for each unemployed disabled worker. The new contribution amount will take effect January 1, 2022.".
On this point, it is hoped that operational notes will also be issued by the Disability Offices, with particular reference to exemptions already granted, expiring in 2022.
The second measure provided for the adjustment of penalties relating to recruitment obligations, bringing "the administrative penalties payable by public and private employers, in the event of failure to send the information sheet showing the total number of employees" (pursuant to Article 9, paragraph 6 of Law 68/1999) to €702.43 for non-compliance and to €34.02 for each day of further delay.
