What must a payslip show in Italy?
Article 1 of Law no. 4 of 5 January 1953 requires employers to give employees (managers โ dirigenti โ excluded) a pay statement when wages are paid, showing name, surname, job qualification, pay period, family allowances and every element of pay and each deduction separately, signed, initialled or stamped by the employer; as amended in 2026, it must also show the collective agreement applied with its unique alphanumeric code. Under article 39 of Decree-Law 112/2008, handing over a copy of the Libro unico del lavoro entries fulfils this obligation.
Items the rules require (in short):
- Employer's name
- Employee's name
- Job title
- Pay period
- Each earning itemised (basic pay, allowances, bonuses)
- Each deduction itemised with its amount
- Net pay
- Family allowances, where due, shown as a separate item
- The collective agreement (CCNL) applied, identified by its unique alphanumeric code (from May 2026)
- Signature, initials or stamp of the employer or of whoever acts on its behalf
- Delivered when the wages are paid; a copy of the Libro unico del lavoro (LUL) entries fulfils the obligation
