(Contratti di reinserimento)


3.7.3.1. Aim

To promote the permanent recruitment of unemployed workers or those who have been in the Wage Compensation Fund (CIG) for at least 24 months.

3.7.3.2. Legal basis

  • - Law 407 of 29.12.1990 (Art. 8);
  • - Law 223 of 23.7.1991 (Art. 20).

    3.7.3.3. Contents

    This measure applies to employers in the middle and northern part of the country, for crafts companies and those which operate in areas where the ratio of people registered in the first category of the placement lists to the resident population is higher than the national average, and for companies in the commercial and tourist sectors in the middle and northern part of the country having fewer than 15 employees.

    A 50% reduction in contributions to social security and assistance institutions is envisaged during a period of 36 months for every unemployed person or for anyone in the CIG for more than 24 months recruited by these companies under a permanent contract.

    The reduction in the contributions becomes a total exemption for a period of 36 months for recruitments by companies which operate in the Mezzogiorno or crafts companies.

    Art. 20 of Law 223 has extended the possibility of being employed under a reintegration contract to certain unemployed workers and to workers who have been in the CIG for at least 12 months. The employers concerned should not be undergoing suspension proceedings and should not have laid off employees with the same qualifications.

    3.7.3.4. Institutional support

    Ministry of Labour via local (district) employment offices.

    3.7.3.5. Duration
