This was stated by the Fim Cisl national secretary, Ferdinand Ulianus, regarding the renewal of the agreement with the two companies on the Welfare Plan.
The improvement was made possible”increasing the corporate contribution doubling it from 5% to 10% for amounts exceeding the minimum of 400 euros, giving the worker the possibility of voluntarily allocating to the welfare plan amounts exceeding the 700 euros already provided for in the previous year”, explained Uliano.
In this way, “the worker can decide to use both productivity and efficiency bonuses allocating amounts ranging from a minimum of 400 euros to a maximum of 1.500 euros”, and thus “the higher the amount allocated, the greater the economic advantage will be for tax relief, tax exemption and the company contribution up to a quota of 24 % to 27% of the amount paid”, explained the national secretary of the Fim Cisl, underlining that “the agreement represents a further positive response to workers and their families”.
