EST healthcare fund – increase in employer contribution
As per the recently renewed national collective agreements for the service and modern retail distribution sectors (Terziario e Servizi e Distribuzione Moderna Organizzata), from April the employer’s monthly contribution to the EST healthcare fund will increase from €12 to €15, representing a €3 rise in the cost for the company. The employee’s share of the contribution remains unchanged.
At present, this increase does not apply to companies that apply other collective agreements, even if those agreements still require contributions to the EST fund.
