Overview
- The CCNL 2022–2024 for local public employees was signed on February 23, granting average gross increases of about €140 per month, with payments showing up in March alongside arrears that outlets report between roughly €1,728 and €2,300 per worker.
- The agreement adds a four-day, 36-hour week option, expands smart-working with priority for caregivers and health needs, extends meal vouchers to remote work, strengthens legal protections, and raises the position-pay cap for high-qualification roles, though sources differ on the new ceiling.
- ARAN’s president called the deal a balance between staff expectations and budget sustainability as it closes the 2022–2024 cycle and advances efforts to reduce disparities with central-government pay scales.
- Unions Uil, Cisl and Csa endorsed the deal after protracted talks, while Cgil opposed it, arguing the increases leave real wages about 10% below cost-of-living growth.
- A separate managers’ contract for about 13,000 staff was also signed, providing an average €444 gross monthly increase and arrears averaging €9,806 for territorial managers, €6,613 for PTA managers and €7,301 for municipal and provincial secretaries, and the next round will address AI integration and training.
