Intesa Sanpaolo, 1200 euro child bonus, meal vouchers and social security: new second level contract signed

The renewal of the second level contract in Intesa Sanpaolo has been signed. In force from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2029, the agreement strengthens the corporate welfare system and introduces a series of measures on health, social security, parenting and digital transformation, on the eve of the presentation of the 2026-2029 Business Plan.

On the welfare front, the Time Bank is strengthened and the package of paid leaves for health protection is expanded, with particular attention to prevention: leaves for oncological screenings and urgent medical visits are foreseen.

Pension chapter: the employer contribution rises to 4.50%, with an increase to 6% for staff under 35. The annual contribution of 120 euros for each child of employees up to the age of 24 has also been confirmed. Finally, the value of the meal voucher increases: raised to 8 euros in 2026, 9 euros in 2027 and 10 euros in 2029.

There is also space for work-life balance policies and support for families. Among the most significant innovations is the introduction of a birth bonus of 1,200 euros for each new child. On an experimental basis, after breastfeeding leave and until the child turns three, parents will be able to choose between further paid leave of up to 12 hours per week or a “very short” working week of four days, for equal pay. Paid leave is also provided for medically assisted procreation procedures, for ascertaining the child’s disability and for assistance to children with Special Educational Needs, including Specific Learning Disorders. Further concessions for child care up to 6 years old and additional paternity leave compared to current legislation have also been confirmed.
