How can a worker access private-sector employment in San Marino?

Eligible Sammarinese citizens and effective residents can generally register on the Liste di Avviamento al Lavoro through Labor or ULPA-CFP and submit an online CV with the required personal, education and qualification evidence. Employers usually recruit through a nominative notification or, after suitable local candidates are unavailable, a numerical request.

What fixed-term contract limits apply to employment in San Marino?

A tempo determinato contract may generally last up to 24 months and may normally be extended or renewed up to four times. From 18 months an additional 3% contribution applies, while work exceeding 24 months generally converts to an open-ended contract; seasonal work may last up to nine months.

How does the sectoral Contratto Collettivo di Lavoro affect pay in San Marino employment?

The applicable sectoral CCL sets minimum pay and many conditions such as working time, probation, holidays and the Christmas bonus. San Marino has no single national minimum wage identified in the available primary sources, so the worker should check the CCL named for the job.

Which employment deadlines and records matter when work ends in San Marino?

An employer that will not renew a fixed-term contract should generally give written notice at least 10 days before its end. A worker applying for IES after at least 18 months of fixed-term work in the previous 24 months must apply to ISS within eight working days and enter a Patto di Servizio.

Employment in San Marino

Dependent paid employment in San Marino covers starting, performing, changing and ending work for an employer. Private-sector access commonly runs through Labor, ULPA-CFP and the Commissione per il Lavoro, while public employment usually requires a concorso pubblico. Pay, working time, leave, social contributions and termination depend on San Marino law and the applicable sectoral Contratto Collettivo di Lavoro.

Tip

Choose the employment route that matches your access status and need for continuity: use Labor and ULPA-CFP when you qualify for the private-sector lists, or follow the published concorso pubblico rules for public employment. Compare the written contract with the applicable CCL before accepting, especially the term, pay, working time, supplements and termination rules. Keep records of payroll, contributions and deadlines because missing a three-day notification, ten-day renewal notice or eight-working-day IES deadline can affect your position.

Open-ended employment ends through the applicable notice period or payment in lieu, with the period determined under Tabella C. Indennità di anzianità is calculated under Tabella D, and the employer provides a service certificate stating the employment period and position. A waiver or settlement can generally be challenged within three months. Collective redundancies can lead to inclusion on a Lista Speciale while social support is paid. After at least 18 months of fixed-term work in the previous 24 months, a worker may qualify for IES by applying to ISS within eight working days and entering a Patto di Servizio. This support concerns the transition after employment and does not create a separate employment pathway.
