Further urgent measures regarding wage integration treatments (decree-law)

The Council of Ministers, on the proposal of the Minister of Economy and Finance Roberto Gualtieri and the Minister of Labor and Social Policies Nunzia Catalfo, approved a decree-law which introduces further urgent measures regarding wage integration treatment.

The text provides that, by way of derogation from current legislation, employers who have benefited from the ordinary, extraordinary or derogating wage integration treatment, for the entire period previously granted, up to the maximum duration of fourteen weeks, may benefit from additional four weeks also for periods starting before 1 September 2020. The maximum duration of eighteen weeks remains unaffected, considering the recognized treatments cumulatively.

Furthermore, the decree establishes that, regardless of the reference period, employers who have erroneously submitted the application for treatments other than those to which they would have been entitled or in any case with errors or omissions that prevented acceptance, may present the application in the correct manner within thirty days of the communication of the error in the previous application by the relevant administration, under penalty of forfeiture, also pending the revocation of any concession provision issued by the competent administration.

Finally, the deadlines for submitting the regularization requests referred to in art. 103 of the decree-law of 19 May 2020, n. 34, and from 30 June to 31 July 2020 those for submitting applications for emergency income.
