ANIEF: Salary increases are visible on the MEF’s NoiPA portal – here’s how to check they’re correct

“Following the back pay, which has been visible since last week, the August pay rises for teachers and ATA staff in state schools are now finally available to view in the relevant section of the Ministry of the Economy’s NoiPa portal”. This has been announced by ANIEF, which recommends comparing the amount shown on your payslip with the pay scale approved as part of the renewal of the 2025–27 national collective agreement signed on 1 July (including by using the simulator provided by the union) and to seek advice from the union itself (by writing to segreteria@anief.net) if the figures do not add up, bearing in mind that a second tranche of pay rises will be paid in January 2027.

“The 2025–27 National Collective Labour Agreement,” explained Marcello Pacifico, national president of ANIEF, “has set salary increases based on each employee’s qualifications and length of service, but you need to check carefully whether your pay matches what is shown on your payslip: there are, for example, sixth-form teachers who are, according to their payslips, classified as lower secondary school teachers.”

“Job title and job description are the first things you need to look at on your payslip. Next, you check the new pay scales for 2025, 2026 and 2027, dividing them by 12 monthly instalments, whilst bearing in mind that these are gross amounts, as the net figure will be derived from deductions for various tax and social security contributions,” he added.

“I recall,” continued Pacifico, “that those on temporary contracts will receive a salary equivalent to the entry-level band for 0–8 years’ service, following the agreement reached in 2011 with the other trade unions when ANIEF was not yet a recognised representative body. For them, verifying their salary is straightforward. The most difficult part, however, is identifying the arrears: the key steps are to work out how much is due each month, taking into account the contractual holiday allowance, then multiply this figure by 13 monthly payments (provided we have worked the whole year), then adding 7.6 monthly payments to this, which gives the gross arrears. Then deductions must be subtracted, starting with the contractual holiday allowance, by referring to the pay scale from the previous 2022–24 contract and always subtracting the months actually worked.”

“Next,” added the independent trade unionist, “you need to add the social security contributions (8 per cent) and the 2.5 per cent for severance pay that would have been due on this new figure. After that, personal income tax (IRPEF) must be adjusted according to the annual taxable income. This is a complicated calculation to work out, which is why we have developed a calculator to check whether the figures differ from those shown on the payslip. If they do not match – if there are any discrepancies – ANIEF makes its regional offices available to help you raise any errors found with NoiPa.”
