Description
It is an additional economic support to wage integrations such as the wage compensation fund or the ordinary allowances of the solidarity funds, in favour of workers suspended from work.
For the implementation of this intervention - which is carried out by a resolution of the Provincial Council, on the advice of the Labour Agency Board of Directors - a specific notice is periodically approved, which specifies the amounts, the deadlines and the application modalities.
The hourly amount of the allowance cannot, however, exceed EUR 2.00 gross.
Restrictions
The allowance is granted to the individual worker who meets, jointly, all the following requirements
- he/she must have worked at legal or operational offices located in the Province of Trento for the entire period for which the wage integration allowance is granted; alternatively, the worker must be resident in the Province of Trento at the date of approval of the Notice and must have worked at legal or operational offices located in the Province of Bolzano or in another neighbouring Region, provided that he/she is not the beneficiary of a similar allowance granted by the territorially competent Administration of the place where he/she works or has worked;
- the allowance is granted to the individual worker only in respect of at least 200 hours of suspension carried out in the reference period of the Notice; hours of suspension due to a weather event cannot be counted to reach this threshold. The calculation of the minimum number of hours of suspension for part-time employment relationships is made by applying the percentage of reduction of the working time performed with respect to the full-time contractual working time;
- having benefited, for the suspensions referred to in the preceding point, from the redundancy fund or the wage supplement allowance provided by the solidarity funds referred to in Article 26 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 148 of 14 September 2015.
Reminder.
In the event of a change in working hours, the average hourly percentage of the months of the year is counted for the purposes of reaching the minimum number of hours of suspension for access to income support.
Exclusively in the hypothesis of a transfer of a company pursuant to Article 2112 of the Civil Code and in the case of a worker transferring to the employees of the company taking over the contract, the hours of suspension accrued under the employment of the two employers, in the period for which the supplement is requested, may be cumulated for the purpose of reaching the minimum number of hours of suspension for access to the income supplement.
It is also clarified that the suspension hours accrued under the employment of the same employer in two separate and successive employment relationships may be cumulated for the purpose of reaching the total suspension hours for the access to the income support in the period for which the supplement is requested.
