(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Extension of smart working for fragile civil servants, still to be evaluated whether up to August 31st or September 30th; secure resources egr the inclusion allowance for the disabled, who risk being penalized for the extension of the benefit to subjects included in treatment and assistance programmes.
These are the knots still to be resolved on the labor decree, which tomorrow the Senate Social Affairs Commission will resume examining after the suspension of yesterday’s and today’s sessions due to the death of Silvio Berlusconi. All – as always – it will depend on the resources for economic coverage, which the government and the majority are trying to identify in these hours. The aim is to allow the Commission to close the examination of the decree on the same day tomorrow, which will arrive in the Chamber on the afternoon of Tuesday 20 June for the general discussion. With an amendment already approved by the Commission, the extension of smart working from 30 June to 31 December 2023 has been envisaged for the private sector, both for the fragile and for parents with children up to 14 years of age. But in this case you don’t need covers. For the public sector, on the other hand, the extension is excluded for workers with children under 14, while for fragile subjects, the two possible deadlines of 31 August or 30 September are evaluated. Limiting to August 31st would effectively exclude the school (teachers), with considerable savings
With regard to the inclusion check, the extension of the benefit to subjects in conditions of psychological and social hardship risks reducing the resources available for people with disabilities. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to put additional funds on the table (about 50 million) and review the equivalence scale “in order not to penalize these subjects”, explained the rapporteur of the decree, Paola Mancini (FdI).
Fringe benefits chapter: the tax-free threshold should remain at 3,000 euros for employees with children and at 258 euros for others. Despite the rapporteur’s intention to raise the basic level from 258 euros to 1,000 euros for everyone, the difficulty in finding coverage does not allow for this improvement for now.
