Overview

• The bonus became operational on June 16 under INPS circular n.102 and now applies to employees eligible for both early retirement and Quota 103
• Participants can increase their take-home pay by up to €6,900 a year by keeping the employer’s 9.19% pension contribution in their salary
• The incentive is a one-time option that expires upon claiming a direct pension, with an exception for those receiving disability benefits
• Skipping part of the pension contribution slightly lowers future payouts but delivers immediate tax savings on renounced contributions
• The government estimates around 7,000 workers may benefit from the measure, helping retain senior employees in the workforce
