On the topic of employee remuneration, two main trends have been taking shape in the past few years: on the one hand, the progressing movement of employee remunerations from the “fixed” side to the “variable” one, with the positive consequence of an increase in productivity; on the other hand, the attempt to overcome – at least partially – the heavy tax and social security contribution burden that for years has been affecting not just the employees but also Italian companies in terms of labour cost. The effort of lawmakers is without a doubt appreciated and today it offers to employers interesting tools to use in the salary review processes to optimize the value of “actual” remuneration (with incentives also to its enjoyment through the fruition of services/goods), reducing employee’s tax burden while, simultaneously, reducing corporate labour costs through compensation plans tailored to one’s corporate population.
