Contributions are amounts paid by the employer to the National Social Security entity or the Complementary Social Security entities. These amounts can be paid on behalf of the employer and the employee. Employee contributions are withheld by the employer and paid to the Social Security entity. Amounts can be fixed amounts or percentages of income.

The assessable income for the main National Social Security contributions includes all gross earnings except amounts paid by the employer on behalf of the National Social Security entities. Contributions due to Complementary Social Security entities are based on a gross income that depends on the entity, such as the Trattamento di fine Rapporto (TFR) income.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicContribution Calculations

The main National Social Security contributions are percentages of the assessable income, except in particular cases in which the income exceeds a ceiling. Employer and employee rates vary depending on labor agreement and employee category. All of these percentages are retrieved by the system using brackets.

The complementary social security contributions are normally made by both employers and employees and can include part of the TFR fund as a destination. Both assessable income and percentages vary depending on the complementary social security entity and on the kind of enrollment. An employee can also add a voluntary contribution that can be either a fixed amount or a percentage of an income.

Other contributions to national social security include contributions on overtime and solidarity contribution.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up CIG Approvals

This section provides an overview of Cassa Integrazione Guadagni (CIG) processing and discusses how to set up CIG approvals.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding CIG Processing

In some situations, employers can make a request to the INPS for partial payment of salaries for employees who are put on temporary leave. For example, construction companies that are affected by bad weather or companies experiencing problems can put some employees on temporary leave and then request a Cassa Integrazione Guadagni payment from the INPS.

If the INPS approves the request, the CIG payments are made for a specific period. The monthly CUD reports for the approved period include details about the employees affected.

Global Payroll for Italy delivers the following for CIG processing:

  1. Enter absence data for employees affected using the absence takes delivered for CIG processing.

    See Setting Up Absences.

  2. Record CIG approvals using the Setup CIG Approvals ITA component (GPIT_CIG_PREG).

When you run the Electronic CUD Monthly report (GPIT_CUDE_AE) for periods in which CIG is approved, the system checks for employees with a CIG absence entry during the period and includes the relevant information that is required by the INPS.
