Compensation & Benefits

In Italy, employers must provide mandatory benefits, including social security contributions, health insurance through the national healthcare system, and statutory paid leave that includes vacation, sick leave, maternity/paternity, and parental leave. Employees are also entitled to a 13th-month salary, and a 14th-month salary ("quattordicesima") is less common but can be stipulated in collective bargaining agreements or individual contracts, particularly in certain sectors. Pension contributions and overtime compensation per labor laws or collective bargaining agreements are also required. Ensuring compliance with these benefits is crucial for companies hiring in Italy.
