Distinguished item of remuneration


The distinct element of remuneration (EDR) is a monthly sum of 10.33 Euros awarded for thirteen months, introduced by the Memorandum of Understanding of 31 July 1992 for all private sector workers, without distinction qualification (except executives) or collective agreement applied.

EDR was introduced to offset the abolition of contingency allowance, which was paid to workers until 31 December 1991. This allowance was intended to adjust remuneration to the increase in the cost of living (inflation) , and in fact was governed by the mechanism of the Scala mobile, which provided for an automatic adjustment of wages to the rise in prices. From 1 January 1992 the escalator has ceased, so from this date only the contingency allowance matured until then is paid. In many collective contracts, it has been aggregated into the basic or minimum contract wage.

EDR is part of the calculation of the determination of certain emoluments such as: thirteen months, paid holidays, paid leave, severance pay, notice, social security contributions (sickness, maternity, accident). However, it is excluded for the purpose of determining: 14th, production premium, extraordinary work, unused festivities, sunset festivities, augmentation, diaries. Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto
