National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how the CCNL sets standardized pay, rest periods, and flight duty limits for aviation employees in Italy.

The National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL) is a set of standardized rules that governs the working conditions and employment terms for workers within a specific industry.

Who it's for

This agreement applies to employees working within the aviation sector.

What you get

The agreement provides a standardized framework for your working conditions. This includes set salary scales, defined rest periods, and specific limitations on how much you can be required to fly or work during a duty period.

What it costs you

There is no direct cost to benefit from the legal protections of the agreement. However, joining a trade union (Sindacato) to help manage these benefits may require paying membership fees.

The catch to know

Not every aviation contract is the same. You must check which specific CCNL applies to your particular airline to know exactly what your specific rights and pay scales are.

How to apply

  1. Review your employment contract to identify your specific agreement.
  2. Consult with your employer or a trade union representative to clarify your terms.
  3. Contact your union if you have questions regarding your specific rights under the agreement.
