CCNL Lavoro Domestico: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand the national collective agreement for domestic workers in Italy, including minimum wages, vacation rights, and contract requirements.
This is the national collective agreement that sets the standard rules and protections for all domestic workers and caregivers working in Italy.
Who it's for
This agreement applies to everyone working in domestic roles across the country, including caregivers.
What you get
The scheme guarantees you several essential employment benefits, including a standardized minimum wage, paid vacation time, and an extra monthly payment known as a 13th-month salary.
What it costs you
To access these protections, you must have a written employment contract that is officially registered with the social security office.
The catch to know
Your pay is tied to your "livello" (level), which is a classification based on your specific job duties. You must ensure your assigned level accurately matches the actual work you perform to ensure you are receiving the correct legal pay.
How to apply
- Confirm your specific job duties and required level.
- Ensure your employer provides a written contract.
- Verify that the contract is registered with the relevant social security authorities.
- Check your pay slips to ensure they match the national standards.
