Minimum Wage in Italy

Italy has no statutory minimum wage. Pay floors are set by national collective agreements (CCNL) for each sector, which cover most employees.

Who is covered

No legal minimum

Courts use the collective agreement for a sector to decide whether pay is fair under the Constitution, even for workers outside it. Proposals for a legal minimum of €9 an hour have not been passed.

Next change

No statutory minimum is planned. Sector agreements are renegotiated every few years.
