The construction sector’s social components in Italy (Ance, Legacoop Produzione e Servizi, Confcooperative Lavoro e Servizi, Agci Produzione e Lavoro and Feneal-Uil, Filca-Cisl and Fillea-Cgil) have signed a proposed agreement on February 21, 2025 that encompasses both economic and normative aspects. This follows the resolution made on the economic part on January 28th. From an economic perspective, the increase in wages at the second level is projected to be 210.00 euros with a rise of 18% in the minimum wage.
From a normative perspective, the completion of the contract includes national training catalog, health surveillance, sector requests, bonuses, national transfer, overtime work. Other items include cyclical contract timelines that do not overlap, and setting up a classification commission. A noteworthy development is the establishment of a unique report system involving transfers and F24.
Trade unions suggest that the single report apart from promoting regularity, ensures more transparency and dependability of their sector towards third parties and public administrations. This is a digital format that the company will have to send monthly to the Cassa Edile, containing data related to the site and the worker, indicating the hours worked and not worked. The model will include certain fields that will prevent under-reporting of worked hours, the disbursement of EVP, and contractual application.
Progress towards simplification and automation of processes has also been reflected in new features on the new transfer regime. The workers’ assemblies to validate this proposed agreement are scheduled to occur by March 20, 2025.
