Assuming a one-year Cig, for the lowest income (€ 30,000 gross), the net loss of annual salary equals € 3,300, a figure similar to that recorded for the € 40,000 gross annual salary range (you lose € 3,331 per year) due to the effect of the tax wedge . This is because the 2021 maneuver reduced the minimum use of the expansion contract from 1,000 to 500 workers, and left small and medium-sized companies exposed due to the limited funds available (117.2 million for 2021, 132.6 million for 2022, 40.7 million for 2023 and 3.7 million for 2024). “TheThe center of gravity needs to be shifted to active policies and training in order to have a tool for managing hiring transfers – carry Pierangelo Albini, Director of the Business, Welfare and Human Capital District in Confindustria – The expansion contract should help companies, including SMEs, to meet the challenges of the future, starting with digitization, training and transition processes, and also in the logic of the slide toward retirement.
