What is it?
It is an all-inclusive allowance in favour of certain categories of employees and self-employed workers, whose activity is connected to the transit of ships in the urban waterways of Venice (San Marco Basin, San Marco Canal, Giudecca Canal).
This income support measure was introduced after these routes were declared a national monument, and therefore, starting from 1 August 2021, the transit of ships with certain dimensional characteristics was prohibited.
This measure is laid down in Article 1 of the Decree of 16 November 2021 of the Minister of Labour and Social Policies together with the Minister of Economy and Finance.
Who is it aimed at?
This allowance is payable to:
- fixed-term employees, including seasonal workers, who have involuntarily terminated their employment between 1 August 2021 and 16 November 2021 and who have worked for at least 30 days in the period between 1 January 2019 and 31 July 2021;
- temporary workers, under the same conditions;
- intermittent workers who have worked for at least 30 days between 1 January 2019 and 31 July 2021;
- occasional self-employed workers, who have worked between 1 January 2019 and 31 July 2021, not enrolled in other mandatory social security schemes.
The activities covered by the allowance include:
- management of the landing terminal;
- technical-nautical services for pilotage, towing, mooring and boating;
- activities of customs freight forwarders;
- companies operating in the logistics sector.
The allowance is not due to those who, as at 21 July 2021:
- are beneficiaries of other income support measures (NASpI, DIS-COLL, ISCRO, income supplementations);
- hold an employment contract for an indefinite period, with the exception of an intermittent employment contract without entitlement to the availability allowance;
- are pensioners, with the exception of the ordinary invalidity allowance.
How does it work?
For 2021, the amount of the allowance is equal to 2 thousand euros.
The allowance is compatible with:
- Citizens’ income;
- Emergency income;
- disbursements deriving from internships and scholarships;
- remuneration deriving from the performance of amateur sports activities
and from occasional self-employment activities.
