Voucher, go to the single text: this is how they will change

According to the new text, which will be examined by the Chamber on Tuesday, work activities paid in vouchers, both by companies and by households, “cannot give rise to compensation exceeding 5000 euros in the course of a calendar year. Without prejudice to the overall limit of 5000 euros, the work activities can be carried out in favor of each individual client for fees not exceeding 2000 euros per year".

"We have adopted the unified text on the modification of the discipline on vouchers in the restricted committee, on Tuesday we will bring it to the Labor commission of the Chamber to have it adopted and begin the examination". So the chairman of the Labor Commission of the Chamber, Cesare Damiano (Pd). The limit of the categories of workers who can perform ancillary work and therefore be paid in vouchers will only apply to companies with zero employees and not to families. In fact, the former will only be able to pay in vouchers for "unemployed, retired people, students under 25, the disabled and people in recovery communities and foreign workers from non-EU countries with a residence permit and unemployed for over 6 months".

Towards a ceiling of 3.000 euros for businesses and households - Both households and businesses without employees will have to stick to a voucher spending limit of 3.000 euros per year. This is what we read in the unified text adopted by the restricted committee of the Labor commission of the Chamber on the regulation of vouchers which mentions: "each client can make use of occasional services (in vouchers ed) for a value not exceeding 3.000 euros per year". 

Recipient limit downwards from 7 to 5 thousand euros - Work activities paid in vouchers, both by businesses and families, "cannot give rise to compensation exceeding 5000 euros in the course of a calendar year. Without prejudice to the overall limit of 5000 euros, the work activities can be carried out in favor of each individual client for fees not exceeding 2000 euros per year". The situation could therefore go back to being the one in force before the Jobs Act, which had raised the maximum limit of the compensation that a worker can earn in the year in vouchers from 5000 to 7000 euros. On the other hand, the maximum compensation that a worker can receive in vouchers from a single client remains unchanged, at 2000 euros per year.

15 euros for companies, 10 for families – The face value of a single voucher "is set at 10 euros for non-entrepreneurs and professionals, and at 15 euros for entrepreneurs and professionals (who do not have employees, editor's note)".
