Hiring bonus, from December the obligation to publish an advertisement on the SIISL begins. What to know

The reference law is the decree of the Minister of Labor and Social Policies n. 134 of 5 October 2026, implementing the provisions contained in Legislative Decree no. 159/2025, which defines the operational methods for the publication of job positions for the purposes of accessing contributory benefits, the transmission of mandatory communications, the verification of data self-certified by users and the obligations to publish offers by Employment Agencies. The text provided for the publication of the job announcement starting from April 1st, but the mechanism was only on a voluntary basis. From 1 December it becomes mandatory.

For hires made in the experimental period, therefore from 1 April to 30 November 2026, publication on the SIISL is therefore only optional and the public benefits are not lost even if it is not done. The position can however be published even after hiring, for traceability and monitoring purposes: in this case it is automatically archived by SIISL and is not visible to candidates.

For hires made from 1 December 2026 onwards, the publication must be prior to or contextual to the hire and the position identifier must be indicated in the UniEmens flow, according to the INPS instructions. In the announcement it will also be necessary to indicate the salary range and the CNEL code of the collective agreement to which the position refers.

It should be noted that the obligation will not apply to the conversion of fixed-term contracts into permanent contracts, even if tax relief is foreseen, as in the case of the transformation of the employment relationship of under 35s, because the meaning is to make the announcement public at the time of the search for personnel.

The decree also introduces other innovations, such as the possibility of transmitting mandatory communications directly via the SIISL. Public and private employers, employment consultants, authorized parties, delegates and employment agencies can use the system to manage communications relating to the establishment, extension, transformation and termination of employment relationships. This is an option, an alternative to regional systems, which does not involve any duplication: the communication transmitted via the SIISL is forwarded both to the national coordination node and to the regional systems. The compilation of communications can make use of information already available in interoperable systems or be generated starting from a published job position, from a profile present in the System or from a candidate selected for a specific job offer.

And again, as a result of the decree, the results of the checks on the data self-certified by users registered with the SIISL are available. The information, provided in compliance with current legislation and subject to the consent of the interested party in the cases provided for, derives from data acquired from certified sources and contributes to increasing the reliability of the profiles present in the System, for the benefit of both citizens and individuals looking for personnel.
