The Digital Work Card has been in full use since last July in the branches of banks and supermarkets that employ more than 250 workers.

According to the accounting data for the period up to September 20, the application rate of the Digital Labor Card (ie the percentage of employees using the Card) is 94.74 %.

Particularly:

The Digital Card is used by 111,220 employees in the two sectors, a number that corresponds to 94.74% of the total of 117,390 liable employees (121,313 employees minus 3,923 who hold positions of responsibility who are exempt from the Digital Card).

The application rate in supermarkets is 95.93% as the Card is used by 84,622 employees out of a total of 88,209 (89,107 minus 898 employees in positions of responsibility). In five chains the percentage reaches 100%.

In banks, the Digital Work Card is used by 26,598 employees out of a total of 29,181 (32,206 minus 3,025 who hold positions of responsibility), i.e. a percentage of 91.15%. In 14 credit institutions the application rate is 100%.

The fact that the implementation rate has not yet reached 100% is mainly due to the implementation, especially in banks, of a remote work/telework system, the implementation of voluntary exit schemes (for which the process of informing the PS ERGANI has not yet been completed the solutions of the respective employment contracts), in cases of long-term leave as well as the fact that very few companies have not yet proceeded with the implementation of the measure.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is particularly notifying the few businesses that have not adapted, that from October 1st there will be checks for the implementation of the Digital Labor Card and the sanctions provided for in the relevant Ministerial Decision will be imposed.
