This essay presents a comparative analysis of the economic and regulatory treatments provided under seven National Collective Bargaining Agreements (CCNL) applicable to the Tourism sector, with specific reference to the three traditional sub-sectors of hospitality, catering/food service, and travel agencies, through paradigmatic occupational profiles selected to represent differing degrees of professional skill. Beyond minimum tabular wages, the research examines contractual institutions such as additional monthly instalments, overtime/night-work/holiday-work premia, annual leave and time off, entry-level contracts, apprenticeship arrangements, probationary periods, notice periods and bilateral welfare bodies, demonstrating that pay differentials depend decisively on the specific job classification actually applied – particularly where ambiguities exist in the contractual job-classification schedules – and on specific contractual institutions, whereas they are attributable only residually to the minimum contractual rates, which are by now virtually aligned across agreements. The analysis, far from seeking to establish any general “ranking” among the agreements, situates itself at the intersection of collective autonomy and constitutional guarantees (Articles 36 and 39 of the Italian Constitution), Directive (EU) 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages, and the rules on contractual equivalence in public procurement (Legislative Decree No. 36/2023 and Annex I.01) – already implicitly transposed into private procurement (Article 29(1-bis) of Legislative Decree No. 276/2003) –highlighting the role of the comparatively most representative organisations, on both the employers’ and trade unions’ sides, in preventing contractual dumping.
Il contributo analizza i trattamenti economico-normativi previsti da sette CCNL normalmente applicati nel settore Turismo, distinguendo i tradizionali comparti settoriali dell’ospitalità, della ristorazione e delle agenzie di viaggio (dati al 31 maggio 2026). La metodologia della ricerca compara i trattamenti concretamente applicabili ad alcune figure professionali tipiche del settore in modo da mettere immediatamente in evidenza i differenziali di trattamento in ragione dell’applicazione dei diversi CCNL messi a confronto. Oltre ai minimi tabellari, vengono esaminati istituti contrattuali quali mensilità aggiuntive, maggiorazioni per lavoro straordinario/notturno/festivo, ferie e permessi, contratti di ingresso, apprendistato, periodo di prova, preavviso e bilateralità, dimostrando che le differenze retributive dipendono, oltre che da specifiche previsioni contrattuali, in misura più significativa, dall’inquadramento operato dai diversi CCNL per mansioni sostanzialmente assimilabili, soprattutto laddove le declaratorie contrattuali lasciano spazio ad ambiguità interpretative. L’analisi, lungi dal voler definire una “graduatoria” generale tra contratti collettivi, si colloca all’incrocio tra autonomia collettiva e garanzie costituzionali (artt. 36 e 39 Cost.), Direttiva UE 2022/2041 sui salari minimi adeguati e disciplina sull’equivalenza contrattuale negli appalti pubblici (d.lgs. n. 36/2023 e Allegato I.01), già implicitamente trasposta negli appalti privati (art. 29 comma 1 bis d.lgs. 276/2003), evidenziando il ruolo delle organizzazioni comparativamente più rappresentative, sia datoriali che sindacali, nella prevenzione del dumping contrattuale.

Abstract
This essay presents a comparative analysis of the economic and regulatory treatments provided under seven National Collective Bargaining Agreements (CCNL) applicable to the Tourism sector, with specific reference to the three traditional sub-sectors of hospitality, catering/food service, and travel agencies, through paradigmatic occupational profiles selected to represent differing degrees of professional skill. Beyond minimum tabular wages, the research examines contractual institutions such as additional monthly instalments, overtime/night-work/holiday-work premia, annual leave and time off, entry-level contracts, apprenticeship arrangements, probationary periods, notice periods and bilateral welfare bodies, demonstrating that pay differentials depend decisively on the specific job classification actually applied – particularly where ambiguities exist in the contractual job-classification schedules – and on specific contractual institutions, whereas they are attributable only residually to the minimum contractual rates, which are by now virtually aligned across agreements. The analysis, far from seeking to establish any general “ranking” among the agreements, situates itself at the intersection of collective autonomy and constitutional guarantees (Articles 36 and 39 of the Italian Constitution), Directive (EU) 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages, and the rules on contractual equivalence in public procurement (Legislative Decree No. 36/2023 and Annex I.01) – already implicitly transposed into private procurement (Article 29(1-bis) of Legislative Decree No. 276/2003) –highlighting the role of the comparatively most representative organisations, on both the employers’ and trade unions’ sides, in preventing contractual dumping.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
