In November 2025, salary increases stipulated by the National Collective Labour Agreement (CCNL) of July 18, 2024, will be implemented. This was announced by the Italian Bakery Federation, Bakery Pastry Chefs and Associates on November 27, 2025. As they await the signing of a new sector CCNL, businesses will be permitted to apply the provisions of the contract signed on July 18, 2024, solely for the purpose of adjusting economic treatment. Therefore, starting from the November 2025 paychecks, new economic increases will be applied.
Of these increases, a sum equivalent to 50.00 euros had already been granted from October 2023 as an absorbable super minimum from future contractual increases. Trade unions are urging businesses to communicate this information to all workers, retaining a signed copy.
