An Italian letter, in Italian, from a current or former employee to an employer who does not appear to have paid INPS contributions for some periods: it gives the periods missing from the contributions statement, asks for the position to be put right within a deadline with proof of payment, and announces a report to INPS and the labour inspectorate. The statement can be checked free online on the INPS website or at a patronato (free help office). Send it by PEC to the company’s certified address or by registered post with proof of receipt.

Common questions
- How do you find out whether an Italian employer has not paid contributions?
- From the contributions statement (estratto conto contributivo), free in INPS’s online services (the fascicolo previdenziale, with SPID, CIE or CNS) or at a patronato. If a period is missing, a contributions report can be sent to INPS from the same area, also free. The letter to the employer asks them to put things right and leaves a written record of the request.
- Do unpaid contributions in Italy become time-barred?
- Yes, five years after the payment was due; for the pension share (IVS) the period becomes ten years if the employee reports the omission to INPS within those five years (art. 3(9) of Italian law 335/1995). INPS is the creditor of contributions: this letter to the employer does not interrupt that limitation period, so the report to INPS must be made in time.
- What can be done once Italian contributions are time-barred?
- The employee can claim damages from the employer for the benefits lost (art. 2116 of the Italian Civil Code), or ask INPS to set up a life annuity, paid for by the employer or by the employee (art. 13 of Italian law 1338/1962). A patronato can help free of charge, and the local labour inspectorate takes requests for inspection free of charge.

- Proposal to end employment by mutual agreement (Italy)
For a private-sector employee in Italy proposing to the employer that the job end by mutual agreement, on a date and on the terms asked for. The letter is only the proposal: the agreement takes effect if it is then made, free of charge, through the Ministry of Labour's online procedure or signed in a protected setting such as the labour inspectorate or a union office. After a termination by agreement, NASpI unemployment benefit is due only in special cases. Sent by registered post, PEC or by hand. In Italian.
- Individual agile (smart) working agreement (Italy)
For an employer and employee in Italy agreeing smart working within an existing job. The written agreement required by articles 18–23 of Italian Law 81/2017 sets the days and places of agile work, equipment provided, disconnection hours, monitoring, disciplinary conduct, the risk notice, duration and withdrawal on thirty days' notice (ninety for a disabled worker).

- Employee confidentiality agreement (Italy)
For an employer and employee in Italy who want confidential information protected after the job ends, when the duty of loyalty under art. 2105 of the Italian Civil Code lapses. The agreement defines the confidential information, how long the duty lasts after the job ends, the exceptions (public information, legal duties, whistleblowing reports) and the return of documents. It is not a non-compete clause: it does not restrict future work and sets no penalty. In Italian.
- Notice of sick leave to the employer (Italy)
An Italian letter, in Italian, from an employee telling the employer of an absence for illness: the start date, the end of the doctor’s prognosis, the protocol number (PUC) of the electronic certificate the doctor sent to INPS, and the address where the employee can be reached for the medical check. It is for cases where the collective agreement or the company asks for written notice and offers no portal of its own. Send it by PEC to the company’s certified address, by registered post with proof of receipt, or by hand. It holds health data, so it is sold blank and filled in by hand.
- Domestic worker's request for payslips (Italy)
For a domestic helper, carer or nanny in Italy who asks the employing family for the payslips of certain months and for the statement of wages paid in the year, which the collective agreement for domestic work provides instead of the Certificazione Unica, as the family does not withhold tax. They are needed for a tax return, renewing a residence permit, renting a home, the NASpI unemployment benefit or checking contributions. Hand it over and have the copy signed, or send it by registered post. In Italian.
- Resignation letter for a public-sector employee (Italy)

In the province of Bolzano the body must also accept German, in Valle d'Aosta French. In Italian.
