Italy

There is no statutory minimum wage in Italy, but national collective bargaining agreements set minimum wages on a sector-by-sector basis.

For customers of Remote, salaries are monthly based, for work between the first and last day of the month, as well as an additional 13th and 14th month payment.

Employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

The 13th month salary is paid around mid-December and the 14th month salary is paid around mid-June.

Note that collective agreements in Italy usually determine whether these additional salary payments are required. Many collective agreements mandate one or both of the 13th and 14th month salaries.

We can help you get a new employee started in Italy fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 3 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.
