On October 13th, an agreement was signed by the Revenue Agency and the Coordination Bodies of the Corporate Union Representation of Fabi, First-Cisl, Fisac-Cgil, Uilca and Unisin, setting the “corporate welfare” for the year 2025. The parties established the amounts to be paid as a “welfare contribution”. This will be given to employees with children, up to 25 years of age, who are fiscally dependent or recipients of the universal check in accordance with current legal provisions.
The amounts have been calculated based on the weighted values assigned to each age group as follows:
– 0 to 5 years old: 2.8%
– 6 to 10 years old: 1.3%
– 11 to 13 years old: 2.0%
– 14 to 18 years old: 3.0%
– 19 to 25 years old: 5.0%
The total premium amount must be reduced by the amount paid in addition to what possibly eligible for the year 2025 to the employees who had applied for new births/new entries into the family units after the closing date of applications. The weighted values distribution shows that older dependents will receive a higher corporate welfare contribution. The reduction of the premium for applications made after the stipulated timeframe indicates a discouragement of late applications. The agreement is a significant step in establishing the corporate welfare system.
This agreement shows a commitment towards employee welfare in line with legal requirements, while also considering the financial responsibility that comes with raising children across different age brackets. The differentiated percentage allocation based on age group ensures an equitable distribution considering the financial strain often increases as children grow.
