Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti
on Wednesday signed a decree to make it easier for people close
to retirement to go part time at the end of their careers, ANSA
sources said.
The decree, which regulates a measure introduced in the
2016 budget law, is for private sector workers on full-time
permanent contracts who have at least 20 years of pension
contributions and the requisites to retire before the end of
2018.
Those workers will be able to cut a deal with their
employees for a reduction in their hours of between 40% and 60%.
In their pay packet they will receive, on top of the money
for the hours they work, a sum that is equivalent to the social
contributions that the employer would have paid for the hours
that they no longer work.
Furthermore, the State will also give the worker a
contribution for the hours they no longer do so that their pay
matches what they would get if they were fully retired.
