The long-awaited has arrived period of the thirteenth. Starting tomorrow, public and private employees will begin to receive the additional monthly salary due to all subordinate workers.
More often than not, the thirteenth month brings with it many questions: who can receive it? When it arrives? How is the amount calculated? Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
THIRTEENTH 2018: WHO SHOULD IT
All workers with a job are entitled to receive the thirteenth month's salary employment contract in both the public and private sectors. The thirteenth month does not depend on the "hours", therefore it will be paid both in the case of a full-time contract and in the case of a part-time contract. They are also entitled to domestic workers.
The thirteenth month is also due to pensioners and in this case it will not be paid by the employer, but by INPS.
Collaborators and parasubordinate workers are not entitled to the thirteenth month's salary.
THIRTEENTH 2018: WHEN IS IT COMING?
Some don't call it a thirteenth month, but a Christmas bonus. In fact, its disbursement takes place in mid-December, even if the date can vary according to the sector and the use.
In general, civil servants receive their thirteenth salary on the following dates:
- 14 December: nursery and elementary school teachers;
- 15 December: personnel administered by the provincial directorates of the Treasury with roles of fixed expense;
- December 16: temporary substitute teachers and civil servants.
The same dates also apply to i private employees even if in this case the different types of collective agreement envisaged also have an impact.
The good news is that this year the thirteenth will come first: given that 15 and 16 December are Saturday and Sunday, the payment of the thirteenth month must be paid in advance on 14 December.
THIRTEENTH 2018: HOW IS IT CALCULATED?
To calculate the thirteenth there is one general rule: the amount corresponds to one twelfth of the gross annual salary, but the actual months of work must be taken into consideration.
To carry out the calculation it will therefore be necessary to use the following formula: average gross monthly salary, multiplied by the months of employment during the calendar year. The result must be divided into twelve months' salary.
However, this general rule is affected by various factors that can decrease the amount received. In detail, to calculate whether the amount received is correct or not, the following factors must be taken into account:
- Monthly gross salary;
- Annual gross salary;
- Monthly worked during the year;
- contingency allowance;
- Seniority shots;
- EDR (Distinguished Element of Remuneration);
- Holiday treatment Contractual;
- Third elements;
- Work performed allowance.
It must also be remembered that the thirteenth month's salary is also accrued during holidaysmarriage or maternity leave. The same applies to absences due to illness, accidents at work or layoff periods.
The thirteenth on the other hand, it does not mature in periods of expectation.
