The website my.studioziveri.it has been designed exclusively for the benefit of the Employees of our Client Enterprises. This website is unique; not only does it make available “all” documents pertaining to the employment relationship between Employer and Employees, it also offers advanced and innovative services to the Employees such as personalized checks and calculations on their individual income, tax, pension and social security position. Moreover, my.studioziveri.it supplies automated links to the Public Administration to streamline procedures with INPS (Italian National Social Security Institute), INAIL (Italian National Insurance Institute for Employment Injuries), the Inland Revenue Service, Trade Unions and Pension Funds. It manages tax planning thus avoiding any surprises in the last month of the year, and helps you understand whether the contributions paid give you the pension you expect. It also prepares your family budget and warns you of any cash deficits, schedules mortgage and loan instalments and helps you understand whether your pay can cover it, calculates rises in salary and the relevant personalized net amount taking into account items of pay such as overtime, shift increases, bonuses, recurrent allowances and, through simulations, forecasts any changes in the single payroll ledger in the months to come. So, you will no longer need to go to your Human Resources Department to ask for information or documents. “Non-insiders” can also calculate and forecast their pay and deductions, all through a streamlined and fast procedure. This application also significantly streamlines links with Pension and Social Security bodies as well as with the Inland Revenue Service and Pension Funds, making all remote information available through only a few “touches”. Moreover, it has an automated or customized text and e-mail messaging service between Employer and Employee with confirmation of receipt keeping you updated in real time. In addition, the my.planner application is a complete and personalized due register recording future pay rises, the expiry of national, provincial, corporate and individual collective bargaining agreements, pension due dates, mortgage and loan instalments, tax easements and payments to keep you up-to-date for a better relationship with your Employer. From today, all these functions are also available free of charge on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch through the unique MyPayRoll application available on APPLE iTunes Store.
