The National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) has announced the minimum limits of daily taxable salaries for the calculation of insurance premiums for 2021. These minimum limits must, where lower, be adjusted to 9.5% of the amount of the minimum monthly pension payable by the Employed Workers Pension Fund (FPLD), in effect on 1st January of each year and updated according to the ISTAT index. For 2020, the percentage change calculated by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) was equal to -0.3%, and therefore, to be valid for 2021, the minimum limits for daily salaries for all employees remain unchanged compared to those of 2020.

In 2021, the minimum limit for daily salaries is €48.98, equal to 9.5% of the amount of the minimum monthly pension payable by the pension fund. This amount corresponds to the daily minimum to be compared with the revalued minimum limits for each sector, qualification, and category. Actual salaries cannot fall below these limits, which are adjusted, if lower, to €48.98.

Certain salaries are excluded from this adjustment -agricultural workers, supplementary social security benefits, social security benefits, allowances or indemnities paid to the unemployed engaged at school and work sites, reforestation and mountain accommodation, and allowances provided for intermittent employment contracts.
