All Saints’ Day on a Sunday
1 November is a public holiday. When it falls on a Sunday, the payslip may show an additional payment for the overlap. Look for a label such as ‘festività non goduta’ and check how your collective agreement calculates the payment for your grade and type of pay. Law 260/1949 on public holidays
If you worked on 1 November, also check the hours and any public-holiday premium. The payment for the holiday itself and payment for hours worked follow separate rules.
How 4 November is treated
Law 54/1977 changed the treatment of the occasion. The 2024 law again recognises 4 November as a commemorative day without the legal effects of a public holiday. To check if a payment is due, look for clauses about 4 November or former public holidays in your agreement. Law 54/1977 · Law 27/2024
Your payslip can include a payment under the collective agreement even if 4 November is an ordinary working day for you.
Example for a salaried construction employee
In the agreement example described by ANCE Ragusa, salaried employees get 1/25 of the applicable gross monthly pay for each date. With a hypothetical base of €1,875, that comes to €75 per date. Construction workers classified as operai follow different rules based on hours and pay components. ANCE guidance on the construction agreement
The example shows the gross amounts. The payslip also applies contributions and withholding. To understand the amount you take home, compare each earnings line with the total deductions.
| Date | Gross amount |
|---|---|
| 1 November, All Saints’ Day on Sunday | €75 |
| 4 November, construction agreement payment | €75 |
| Combined gross amount | €150 |
What to check on your payslip
Check the agreement name, your grade and the pay period. Compare the quantities and amounts on holiday pay lines with the hours and applicable contractual pay. For premiums on work actually performed on holidays or shifts, read the guide to night, holiday and shift allowances.
