Leonardo, all the news on working hours, salaries and bonuses for employees
At the heart of Leonardo's contract renewal is the reduction of working hours with the same productivity and results. All the details of the agreement reached on the salary chapters in the renewal of the 2024-2026 company supplement
For Leonardo's 31,000 employees, a 1,400 euro increase in the performance bonus is envisaged when fully operational.
It is one of the cornerstones of the agreement reached by the Italian aerospace and defense giant headed by Roberto Cingolani with the trade unions on the new supplementary contract (2024-2025-2026)-
On 31 July, the meeting between the Fim Fiom Uilm national secretariats, the national coordination of the RSU and the Fim Fiom Uilm territorial structures together with the company management of the Leonardo Group was held, for the resumption of the discussion on the renewal of the company supplementary contract.
During the meeting, an agreement was reached on the "Salary" chapter, envisaged by the Fim Fiom Uilm claiming platform of 02 April 2023, with reference to the items concerning the 2023-2026 Performance Bonus, as reported by a note from the trade unions . "We have chosen to immediately address the economic aspect, identifying solutions, including structural ones, to contrast wage erosion, generated by the biting inflationary dynamics, which has been underway for about two years now", Antonio Liotti, head of human resources, explained to Il Sole 24 Ore Leonardo's humans.
All the details on the news regarding salaries, bonuses, working hours and smart working of the Leonardo group which, in Italy, has 31,000 people (51,000 worldwide, with a particular presence in the USA, the United Kingdom and Poland), of which 12,000 are engaged in productive activities.
THE NEWS IN LEONARDO ON THE SALARY
“Just when we were discussing the economic part we received the new Ipca indexes from Istat which significantly increased the tranches of the renewal of the national collective labor agreement. What we were trying to do at the company level, the national contract therefore did,” Leonarso's personnel director observed to the Confindustria newspaper.
“To avoid an unsustainable concentration of costs in the same years, we have thus decided to reformulate the discussion, increasing the performance bonus in a more limited way for 2023 and 2024, and giving signs of more sustained growth for 2025 and 2026 , years not covered by the current CCNL which expires in 2024” added Liotti.
In light of this, the non-absorbable collective super minimum, introduced in 2016, for all employees of the Leonardo Group, will see an increase of 40 euros from 1 January 2025 and 63 euros from 1 January 2026, for all employees employed in levels from D1 to C3. The collective super minimum will instead increase by 44 euros from 1 January 2025 and 69.30 from 1 January 2026 for employees classified in levels B1-B2-B3 and A1.
“Being able to increase the current value of the “non-absorbable collective superminimum” by 51% is a further important element of the agreement reached” exulted the unions.
THE RESULT AWARD
After that, we move on to the performance bonus which will increase by 250 euros in 2023, by 350 euros in 2024, by 700 in 2025 and by 1,400 in 2026.
"The increase of 1,400 euros in the theoretical value of the performance bonus represents the best result ever achieved in the contractual history of the Leonardo Group, further enhancing the skills, professionalism and strategic nature of the Divisions and national plants", comment the unions.
Furthermore, regarding the discussion on the bonus, it was also decided to start "a process of consolidation, with a view to harmonization, because coming from one rather than another company means that employees today have different variable treatments" he Leonardo's manager also specified to the Sole 24 Ore .
“Taking 3,300 euros as a threshold, in the discussion we will verify the possibility of transforming the excess part into an ad hoc super-minimum salary, adopting a conversion criterion of 85%, whereby 100 euros of variable will correspond to 85 of fixed. A part of the variable would therefore be consolidated to arrive at a single result for all Leonardo's workers” added Liotti.
REDUCED WORKING HOURS
After that, one of the relevant issues of the agreement is the restriction of working hours, which "was set up by imagining that the beneficiaries could be the same people who, starting from the pandemic, have taken advantage of smart working, which has spread on a large scale, first as emergency response and then as a more structured measure of work-life balance” explained Antonio Liotti to Il Sole 24 Ore .
If the mechanism must be defined technically, the Confindustria newspaper points out, the track has however been identified and is that of «a pact which provides for an increase in productivity against which the company would participate by making itself available to reduce working hours. The idea is to start with experimentation in targeted production areas in some of the largest divisional sites”, continued Liotti.
SMART WORKING ACCORDING TO LEONARDO
As the personnel manager of the Piazza Monte Grappa company explains, “At Leonardo we have an agreement that allows those who perform remote tasks to work in smart working 8 days a month which can go up to 10, under particular conditions. However, thinking of other measures for those who can already work in smart working would have increased the gap with those who work in production and it was not possible to take advantage of this possibility".
Therefore, in order to “avoid further polarization, we have decided to shift the focus of the corporate population potentially affected by new measures concerning the time factor. With the trade unions we have begun to think about a reduction in hours in areas where smart working is not usable. The commitment is to explore experimental solutions for the remodulation of working hours, also with a view to reducing them, applicable in production realities, according to criteria, sharing methods and purposes that will be shared in advance during the renewal of the supplementary company contract" commented Liotti .
OBJECTIVE: TO ATTRACT TALENT AND IMPROVE THE COMPANY'S COMPETITIVENESS
Lots of news and crucial issues at the center of the negotiation on the supplementary contract which will resume in September and must be completed by December 2023. Especially in a group which will include 5,000 professionals in the next two years, including engineers, data scientists, data analysts, cybersecurity experts underlines Il Sole 24 Ore .
All highly sought-after professionals and for whom "it is essential to characterize the job offer with conditions that improve the attractiveness and make the company competitive, at a time when one cannot think of bringing on board the best talent imagining that only qualified for workplace safety", highlighted Leonardo's human resources manager, Antonio Liotti.
