The incentive for stabilisation provided by the Labor Decree is part of the already articulated apparatus of facilitative measures dedicated, in whole or in part, to the transformation of fixed-term relationships into permanent relationships. Companies will therefore have to assess, on the basis of the worker's characteristics and the time constraints involved, whether to apply for the new bonus or another of the existing facilitations.
Structural incentives
In terms of structural incentives, by subjective category, the legal system has long recognisedthe 50% exemption of employer contributions for the transformation of fixed-term relationships of young people under 30 (maximum 3,000 euro per year for 36 months), of disadvantaged women (bonus of 18 months, inail premium included), of workers over 50 who have been unemployed for at least one year (18 months, Inail premium included) and for people with disabilities (incentive from 35% to 70% of gross salary up to 36 months).
Bonus for specific conditions
Alongside these bonuses are incentives linked to specific conditions of the worker:
- the economic incentive equal to 20% of the residual Naspi for those who hire or stabilise a unemployment benefit recipient (for a maximum of 24 months);
- the reduction to 10% of contributions for those who hire or stabilise workers in Cigs for at least three months (for a maximum of one year);
- the 50% exemption of contributions (maximum 4.030 euro per year for 18 months) for workers in Cigs who are beneficiaries of the reemployment allowance;
- 100% contribution exemption (maximum 8,000 euro per year for 24 months) for the transformation of relationships with recipients of the Inclusion Allowance.
The latest measurements
Then there are specific measures introduced more recently, such as the contribution exemption formothers of three or more minor children provided for by the Budget Law 2026: it is a total relief of up to EUR 8,000 per year, which lasts 18 months in the event of the transformation of a previous fixed-term relationship.
In addition, there is the incentive to hirewomen victims of violence (Article 1, paragraphs 191-193 of Law 213/2023): a total contribution exemption until the 18th month from the date of the fixed-term employment, in the event of the relationship being transformed into an open-ended one.
