The partnered parties have submitted a new, coordinated text, which fully replaces the previous National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL). The agreement, signed by Cifa and Confsal on September 23, updates some contractual provisions for Trade, Service, Distribution, Public Exercises and Tourism industries.
In regards to the probation period, the terms of service duration have been adjusted:
– At the first level, it is 45 actual working days;
– At the second and third levels, it is 60 actual working days;
– From the fourth to the fifth level, it’s also 60 actual working days;
– At the sixth level, it is 90 days;
– For subsequent levels, it is 180 days.
Concerning overtime, if the work schedule is changed, a 31.5% (30% + 1.5%) increase of the global hourly wage is provided. However, for extra work duties, the raise has been increased from 15% to 30% of the pay.
The agreement also addresses the period of conduct. It alters the duration and introduces the right to retain one’s job position for a duration of 12 months within the last triennium.

– 100% pay for the first three days;
