In the first five months of the year, compared to approximately 1.4 billion hours of authorized layoffs, Italian employees lost a total of 2.3 billion.
This is what emerges from a Uil study on social safety nets which assumes that all the authorized hours are actually used (the draft is generally lower) and that the average salary is 20,900 euros.
In the case of a worker on layoffs for five months at zero hours, the average loss on the paycheck would be 3,185 euros.
If all the cash hours required in the first five months were to be confirmed - explains the UIl - Lombard workers could lose 22.2% of net wages (504 million) while those in Lazio could lose over 299 million, followed by those of the Veneto (205 million) and Campania (189 million).
The simulation is conducted on a gross annual salary of 20,980 euros (average salary of the private sector) which net becomes 16,810 euros, with five months of cash at zero hours it drops to 13,625 euros with a loss of 3,185 euros.
"Between salary reduction and missed accruals of the 13th and 14th monthly salaries - explains the confederal secretary Ivana Veronese - in five months the paychecks have lightened by an average of 19%".
"In the more comprehensive reform of the social safety nets that the Government is preparing to launch, he stresses, as well as making the instrument universal and linking it to active policies, there is the need to revise the maximum ceilings of the subsidy for wage supplements and their revaluation, which should be anchored to contractual increases and not just to the annual inflation rate ".
