The month of June will not only bring summer but also some extra money thanks to a bonus not to be missed
Low salaries and increasingly expensive living are putting a strain on many families, which despite having workers among its members with regular and permanent contracts, are unable to make ends meet. Or at least they have a very hard time making ends meet.
For this reason even a little help can feel like a godsend, although it is not applicable for everyone and not in all sectors. For next month there will be an extra 250 euros in your paycheck!
In June many workers will celebrate
Starting from June 2024, a breath of fresh air will affect the metalworking sector. Thanks to the new one National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL)a bonus of 250 euros will be made available to numerous workers, representing an important addition to the package corporate welfare. This initiative involves both permanent and fixed-term employees, highlighting the sector’s commitment to improving the economic and social conditions of its workers.
The bonus is born as a corporate welfare initiativeinitially set at 200 euros per year per worker. This amount, convertible in shopping vouchers and subscriptions, offers a wide range of services: from fuel vouchers to gym memberships to cultural courses. However, thanks to the intervention of the trade unions, the benefit was increased to 250 eurosmaking the package even more generous and advantageous for workers.
To access the 250 euro bonusworkers must respect some specific criteria:
– Be employees of the metalworking sector in service on 1 January 2024 or hired by 31 December of the same year.
– Having passed the probationary period.
– Don’t be expectant.
Temporary workers can also benefit from the bonus, provided they have worked at least 3 months during 2024. These requirements ensure that the benefit is equally distributed among all those who contribute to the industry. The welfare package will have to be used by May 2025. The beneficiaries will have the opportunity to choose how to spend the bonus among the various options available in the company catalogue, which includes a series of goods and services designed to improve the quality of life of workers.
One of the most appreciated features of this bonus is its automatic disbursement. The employees they will not have to follow particular bureaucratic procedures to request it. The bonus will in fact be automatically credited by the employer to all employees who meet the requirements, making the process simple and immediate.
A key aspect of the new bonus is its uniformity. It is not linked to the ISEE (Indicator of Equivalent Economic Situation), which means that it will be granted to both full-time and part-time workers in the same amount. This decision guarantees fairness in the distribution of the benefit, ensuring that all workers can enjoy the same economic support.
