This chapter provides an overview of the social security process and discusses how to:
Set up social security.
Set up CIG approvals.
Set up pension funds.
Report social contribution data.
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.
This section discusses:
Assessable income calculations.
Contribution calculations.
Reduction calculations.
Adjustment processing.
Viewing delivered elements.
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.
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.
These reductions apply to the employer contributions made for employees hired under specific conditions. The existence and extent of the reduction depend on these factors:
Employment type and kind of hiring.
Hiring location.
Industrial sector.
The types of reductions are:
Reductions calculated as a percentage of employer social contributions dependant on employment type and hiring location.
Reductions calculated as a percentage of the assessable income dependant on the type of part time compensation.
Fixed reduction amounts Sgravi normally granted to employers that hire employees in regions of southern Italy with high unemployment rates.
You can make end-of-the-year contribution calculations and their corresponding adjustments. Situations that may require adjustments include:
Assessable income exceeding pension fund (IVS) contribution ceilings for newly enrolled employees.
Additional IVS contribution.
IVS contributions are calculated monthly and are based on monthly income. Because monthly income may not accurately represent annual income, a contribution adjustment calculation must be done at the end of the year.
Decontribuzione.
Earnings based on company productivity are social security exempt up to a percentage of the yearly social security assessable income. In the course of the year, the yearly amount is estimated and the ceiling is calculated on the estimated amount. At year-end or termination the actual yearly amount is calculated, and an adjustment is made to the estimates.
December earnings (Elementi Variabili della retribuzione).
Amounts paid in January but related to December, such as overtime, must be considered in the CUD and 770 year-end reports for the year to which they relate.
The PeopleSoft system delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for Italy. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll 9.1 PeopleBook.

This section provides an overview of Cassa Integrazione Guadagni (CIG) processing and discusses how to set up CIG approvals.
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:
Enter absence data for employees affected using the absence takes delivered for CIG processing.
See Setting Up Absences.
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.
