On July 3, 2025, the employer associations and trade union organizations in the Mantova province signed an agreement for the establishment of the Variable Element of Remuneration (EVR), as defined by the collective labor agreement of October 3, 2023. This agreement pertains to the period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and anticipates disbursement in 2025.
The evaluation is based on four territorial parameters provided by the Mantova Construction Fund. These parameters include: reported salary amounts, the number of registered workers, reported working hours (excluding those of the Integration Fund), and the overall trend of Integration Fund hours. A comparison between the three-year periods of 2024-2023-2022 and 2023-2022-2021 revealed a positive evaluation for all four parameters.
As such, the Social Parties recognize the EVR at 100%, at a maximum territorial value of 4% of the current minimum wages. This EVR will need to be verified by companies each year in April or May, checking against two business indicators established by the collective labor agreement (reported hours and VAT business volume). The payout of EVR will be based on this assessment:
– If both indicators are positive, the EVR must be paid out at 100%.
– If both indicators are negative, the EVR will not be paid.
– If only one of the indicators is positive, the EVR must be paid out at 65%.
The respective EVR amounts will be paid to employees who were working from January 1, 2023, in four installments throughout 2025, each installment corresponding to the wages earned in the previous quarter of 2024.
Specific rates of EVR are detailed for various worker levels and categories in the sectors of industry and craftsmanship, both for workers and employees, based on the minimum wage from March and May 2022 respectively. For every level or category, the hourly EVR value is defined depending on whether both business indicators are positive (100% payout) or only one is positive (65% payout). The maximum percentage for the EVR has been capped at 4% resting on the positive valuation of all employment criteria.
