In particular, employees who, by 31 December 2026, meet the requisites for <strong>early retirement<\/strong> can decide to <strong>remain in service<\/strong>. In this case, workers may request that their employers&#8217; social security contribution be paid directly to them with their payslip, instead of to the social security institution.

The average number of employees of the previous calendar year shall be checked annually to see if this limit has been exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a transitional basis, for <strong>2026 and 2027<\/strong>, the obligation applies to employers with <strong>60 or more employees<\/strong>; as of <strong>1 January 2032<\/strong>, this limit shall drop to <strong>40 employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong>1 July 2026<\/strong>, the mechanism that regulates <strong>allocation of the TFR <\/strong>for employees in the private sector also changes radically: the current system of <strong>tacit-assent<\/strong> (i.e. TFR is allocated to a form of supplementary pension in the absence of the worker&#8217;s express decision within 6 months of their hiring) will be replaced by <strong>automatic participation<\/strong>, which will mean they are automatically registered for the supplementary pension provided for by the collective agreements when they are hired. Workers have, however, the right to waive this automatic registration within <strong>60 days from their hiring<\/strong> and opt for another form of supplementary pension or for their TFR accruals to remain within the company. In light of these new rules, employers are required to comply with specific <strong>disclosure obligations <\/strong>towards employees when they are hired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Toffoletto De Luca Tamajo <\/strong>is at your disposal should you need any further clarification and\/or details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 Budget Law sets out significant changes to employment-related rules, including incentives, tax reliefs, family support measures and pension reforms affecting employers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":10635,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash-insight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>2026 Budget Law: key employment law measures | Toffoletto De Luca Tamajo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Italy\u2019s 2026 Budget Law introduces new measures on social security reliefs, labour taxation, welfare, income support measures and pensions.
