Quando riceverò la liquidazione del TFR?

When will I receive the settlement of my severance fund?

Pronunciation

'Liquidazione' = li-kwi-da-TSYO-neh. Five syllables; stress the fourth. 'TFR' spelled out: tee-ef-feh-ER-reh.

When to use it

Cultural Note

The TFR (Trattamento di Fine Rapporto) is a mandatory Italian severance provision — employers set aside the equivalent of approximately one month's salary per year of service. Payment after resignation typically takes 1-3 months, though legally it should be within 30 days. In financial difficulty, some Italian companies delay payment significantly, which is a known issue.
