New Amount for the Exemption Contribution for Persons with Disabilities Under Law 68/99 and Update on the Amount of Administrative Penalties

Labor Minister Orlando has signed two important measures regarding targeted job placement. This was announced in a statement from the ministry itself.

Specifically, the first of these measures concerns the amount provided for in the event of authorization for a partial exemption pursuant to Article 5 of Law 68/99, which is to be paid for each person with a disability who is not hired.

Specifically, the measure provides for “theadjustment to 39.21 euros of the amount of the exemption contribution owed by private employers and public economic entities, given the special conditions of their operations that allow them to be partially exempt from the obligation to hire the full prescribed percentage of people with disabilities, by paying to the Regional Fund for the Employment of People with Disabilities an exemption contribution for each unhired worker for each working day for each unhired worker with a disability. The new contribution amount will take effect January 1, 2022”.

In this regard, it is hoped that the Offices for Persons with Disabilities will also issue operational guidelines, with particular reference to the exemptions already granted that are set to expire in 2022.

The second measure provided for the adjustment of penalties related to hiring obligations, bringing them “the administrative penalties owed by public and private employers, in the event of failure to electronically submit the information form showing the total number of employees” (pursuant to Article 9, paragraph 6, of Law 68/1999) to 702.43 euros for noncompliance and to 34.02 euros for each day of further delay.
