What is it?

Occasional work services  are employment relationships that can be used by parties who want to use  occasional work activities (art. 54 bis of Decree-Law no. 50 of 24 April 2017, introduced in the conversion of Law no. 96 of 21 June 2017). 
Users can acquire work services through the Family Register.

Who is it aimed at?

It is aimed at  natural persons who are not engaged in professional or business activities.

How does it work?

The Family Register is a pre-paid registered booklet made up of payment certificates with a nominal value of € 10, aimed at paying for  work activities lasting no longer than one hour

The Family   Register can be funded with payments through: 

  • F24 Elide form, with reason LIFA;
  • the Payment portal.

The activities that the user can remunerate through the Family Booklet Register are strictly indicated by law and consist of: 

  • housework, including gardening, cleaning or maintenance;
  • home care for children and the elderly, sick or disabled;
  • private tutoring.

Occasional work services include the following economic limits (referring to the calendar year of performance of work): 

  • equal to € 5 thousand for each provider, with reference to all the users;
  • not exceeding € 10 thousand for each user, with reference to all providers;
  • equal to € 2,500 for the total services rendered by each provider in favour of the same user.

The amounts received by the provider are calculated net of: 

  • contributions;
  • insurance premiums;
  • management costs.

Exclusively in reference to each user with respect to all providers, the remuneration amount is calculated on the basis of 75% of its actual amount for the following categories of providers: 

  • holders of old-age or invalidity pensions;
  • people younger than 25 years old, if regularly enrolled in a course of study at an educational institution at any level, or university students;
  • unemployed people (art. 19, Legislative Decree no. 150 of 14 September 2015);
  • recipients of supplementary salary benefits, Inclusion Income (REI or SIA) or other income support services.

Therefore, the limits to the total remuneration, in reference to each individual provider, are always to be considered in their nominal value. 

It is not possible to make use of occasional work services by workers with whom the user has, or has had in the last six months, a contract of: 

  • employment;
  • coordinated and continuous collaboration.

The provider is entitled to: 

  • insurance for invalidity, old age and survivors with registration in the Separate Pension Scheme - art. 2, paragraph 26 of Law no. 335 of 08 August 1995);
  • insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases (Consolidated Law referred to in Presidential Decree No. 1124 of 30 June 1965).

Of the nominal value of € 10 of each payment certificate: 

  • € 8 constitute the remuneration of the provider;
  • € 1.65 are allocated for the IVS contribution to the Separate Pension Scheme;
  • € 0.25 for the INAIL insurance premium; 
  • € 0.10 to finance management costs.

To take advantage of the Family Register, both the user and the provider must access and register on the platform through the dedicated online service.

The procedures for registration and communication of the data relating to the work service can be carried out directly by the users and providers, also by contacting: 

  • Contact centre; 
  • patronage institutes (law No. 152 of 30 March 2001);
  • intermediaries (law no. 12 of 11 January 1979) with specific delegation (message no. 3177 of 31 July 2017).

At the end of the service, and no later than the third day of the month following the performance of the service, the user must notify: 

  • the provider’s personal information;
  • the agreed remuneration;
  • the place of work;
  • the duration;
  • the scope of work;
  • other information for managing the employment relationship.

After communicating this data, the provider receives notification by e-mail or SMS. 

No later than the 15th day of the month following the month in which the service was performed, INPS shall directly pay the agreed remuneration according to the method chosen by the provider at the time of registration. 

The performance of occasional benefits by pensioners, both under the Occasional Work Contract and the Family Register (such as, for example, benefits paid with the baby-sitting bonus), may result in the non-cumulation of pension treatment with income from work, with the effect of: 

  • suspending the pension (g. “Quota 100” pension; pension to so-called early workers);
  • reducing the amount in payment (g. disability benefits, pensions to survivors, etc.).

Processing times of the decision

The ordinary deadline for issuing the decisions is set at 30 days under Law no. 241/1990. In some cases the law may set different deadlines. 

The table shows the deadlines exceeding thirty days, set by the Institute with a Regulation. 

In addition to the terms for the issuance of the decision, the table also indicates the relevant manager.
