Italian Teachers to Receive Back Pay in August
Listen to the story
Teachers in Italy will get extra money in August. This money is called back pay. It comes from a new work agreement for schools.
The agreement is named CCNL Istruzione e Ricerca 2025/27. CCNL means a labour contract. It sets pay rules for teachers and school workers.
In August, salaries will change to match this new contract. This is called an adjustment. It means pay levels go up to new numbers.
But some teachers may see a different amount than expected. The pay could be lower or higher than the official tables. Tables show the correct pay numbers.
A teachers' union called Anief wants to help. They made a special form. Teachers can use it to check their payslip.
A payslip shows how much money you earn. If the payslip has a mistake, teachers can send the form to NoiPa. NoiPa is the system that pays public workers in Italy.
This form helps find wrong payments. Then teachers can ask for the money to be fixed.
