The Italian broadcaster, Rai, has detailed the issuance policy for the 2025 Performance Award, as stated in the agreement finalized on December 5, 2024. The agreement has been established by Rai in collaboration with Slc-Cgil, Fistel-Cisl, Uilcom-Uil, Fnc-Ugl Comunicazioni, Snater, and Confsal-Libersind.
The overall value of the 2025 Performance Award is set at €1,579.27 and refers to the level 4 award. However, the award will only be issued if a positive value has been attained in Rai’s annual budget. The individual size of the award is determined by the number of absences throughout the year according to the following plan: A two-day absence in the month leads to a reduction of 25% of the monthly portion of the annual award; a three-day absence in any month results in a 50% cut of the monthly segment of the annual award; an absence longer than three days means a reduction of the monthly portion of the annual award.
The Performance Award will be distributed in October to permanent staff members who will still be employed by Rai as of December 31 of the financial year to which the award pertains. Temporary workers will receive the same maximum sum of €1,579.27 gross, also relating to level 4, with their October paycheck or with the first paycheck that’s feasible.
Employees can request to convert the Performance Award amount (either 50% or 100% of the amount) into products and services included in Rai’s welfare plan. Those who do will receive a 12% increase in welfare value if they convert 100% of the reward amount and an 8% increase if they convert 50%.
Finally, Rai offers €250 as welfare funding to its own employees who are still in service as of January 1 of each year.
