In mid-June 2026, Italian municipalities and unions finalized an integrative contract for 2026-2027, creating a €380,000 productivity fund and adding salary steps for Piacenza staff. This coincided with a national schedule applying salary increases to all public-administration workers in July 2026. By late June, focus shifted to the police union COISP securing a back-dated “cyber” allowance and the expiration of PNRR-funded justice-sector contracts, which left 12,000 staff in limbo. A July 9 guide noted that combined contract renewals, IRPEF tax cuts, and detaxation would raise net monthly earnings across the sector. Following a payroll system overhaul on July 28, new developments emerged in August. On August 6, the national collective bargaining agreement for the Funzioni Centrali sector (2025-2027) was finalized. Covering approximately 200,000 state employees, the contract includes monthly salary increases of €160-€221, retroactive payments for 2025-2026, and minimum meal vouchers of €7-€8. The agreement also introduces provisions for artificial intelligence use, flexible holiday management, and enhanced welfare measures. Concurrently, Italian school personnel, including teachers and ATA staff, are awaiting salary arrears and increases related to the 2025/2027 contract. While initial expectations pointed to July, projections suggest back pay may be issued around August 11, with updated salary slips expected by August 17 and payments for permanent staff potentially occurring between August 21 and August 27. Under this agreement, salary These increments will be implemented in three annual tranches effective from January 2025, 2026, and 2027. Once fully implemented in January 2027, the average gross monthly increase for the sector will be €137, with teaching staff seeing an average increase of €143. ~~Upcoming September~~ Beyond direct salary adjustments, upcoming discussions in September may address the introduction of meal vouchers and discounted rates for redeeming university ~~degree redemption~~ degrees to further boost purchasing power.
