All the additional benefits listed below are available for full time employees. They are not valid for external contractors.

Contract and prize rules

(This section is not valid for consultants and contractors)

1. Type of contract: “CCNL terziario commercio”, 14 monthly salaries, permanent contract.

2. PDR: supplementary 2nd level contract specific for “Work life balance” specific for Welfare benefits provided by the company.

3. Fondo Est (Health fund provided by CCNL).

1. Company Prize (valid just for permanent employees):

   • This prize is a gross amount equivalent to the 8% of the RAL; it shall be issued on the basis of the results of the company ( Ex. EBITDA )
   • The company result will be defined, at the beginning of the year, by a minimum value and maximum value. This target will be defined having in mind to have a good probability to reach at least 50% of this range. If we are under the mid value we are underperforming but still acceptable if above the minimum, if we are above 50% we are over performing.
   • The individual prize will be a linear percentage between the minimum and maximum value. Es. If the fork is between 1M and 2M of EBITDA, if at the end of the year we reach 1M the prize is 0, if we reach 1.5M the prize is 50%, if we reach 2M the prize will be 100%. The prize percentage is referred to the gross amount equivalent to the 8% of the RAL.
   • The prize shall be paid in two steps:
     • First tranche: 50% in April year X+1 (year X is the year for calculation reference)
     • Second tranche: 50% in May year X+1 (year X is the year for calculation reference)
   • An employee hired before the 31st of August shall be eligible for the company prize but proportionally to the effective months; an employee hired after the 31st of August shall not be eligible for this prize
   • In the eligibility period:
     • If an employee will be hired before the 15th of the month shall be eligible starting from the same month;
     • If the employee will be hired after the 15th of the month shall be eligible starting from the next month (i.e. if hired 15th of March shall earn 9/12 of the jackpot amount).

2. Resignation policy:

   • If the resignation comes before the issuing dates of the Company Prize in the year X, the employee will lose the right to the prize relative to the X-1 year. The employee shall remain eligible for the second and third tranche of the Performance Prize
   • If the resignation comes before June the 30th of the year X, the employee shall not be eligible for the first tranche of the Performance Prize and for the Company Prize related to year X
   • If the resignation comes before December the 31st of the year X, the employee shall be eligible just for the first tranche of the Performance Prize and not for the rest.

3. Referral fee: the employee that suggests a person that will be hired successfully, shall be prized when the trial period of the neo-hired person will be over. For more details, check the Referral section on hiring.

4. Welcome Pack (received when a new employee comes to the office): a notebook, an additional screen, board, mouse, port adapter and headset. People Operations/Welcome proposes to each new employee models of hardware and accessories selected by circle:PeopleOperations according to the budget and technical quality defined. The employee, according to his needs, can propose a different model than the one proposed by People Operations/Welcome only for board, mouse, port adapter and headset: the expense must still be within the approved budget and, in this case, the employee assumes responsibility for the material chosen.

5. No badge, no hour count: We do not use any activity tracking software installed on personal workstations, it is a matter of individual responsibility and professionalism to comply with contractual commitments and correctly report the actual amount of worked hours; in other words, flexibility and goal oriented shall not be intended as "work as many hours as you want". The employee shall confirm the daily work and the trip expenses made for the company on the Elapseit platform: no expenses form is requested to the employee, just proof of purchases.

6. The extra hours during the night or the weekend shall be paid as stated by the CCNL. Availability service shall be paid as agreed by the extra-timetable service gross values.

7. Extra prizes shall be paid when a group of employees is requested for extra working effort in a specific delivery or project.

8. (20-x)*7€ meal vouchers per month shall be distributed to the employees. x are holidays + sick days. (available only in Italy)

9. An additional Health policy is provided to the employee (in charge to Agile Lab, no fiscal ownership for the employee) by a specific agreement with Previgest (Gruppo Generali Assicurazioni): no ticket, direct coverage, no cash in advance for the majority of the services for therapies, medical examinations - and so on - with the benefit of a dedicated booking service with zero wait queues. The service is dedicated just to the employee who can extend the coverage to his/her family paying the amount difference. Check Health Insurance for more details. (available only in Italy)

10. Additional Welfare conversion: possibility to “convert” the net amount of the prizes in services or products purchase with a +30% price enhancement (i.e. it’s possible to purchase a product that costs 130 € with 100 € net prize amount exchange).

Training Budget

Each person, including external contractors/consultants/freelance (as long as they work full time for AgileLab), has a budget that can spend along the year. It is composed by:

• Cash Budget: 1000 Eur/year
• Time Budget: 12 hours/month

NOTE: while cash budget is a per year amount and you can even spend it all on December 31st, time budget is per month. In order to allow the management to correctly forecast budget and people allocation, while at the same time motivating and allowing employees not to waste their time budget if they are full on their projects for a few weeks/months, we have the following time budget accumulation policy: time budget can be accumulated up until a 3 months span (with monthly budget being fully unlocked at the beginning of the month), the time not spent learning in the previous months is unfortunately wasted. Regardless of the accumulated ammount, the time budget always expires at the end of the year (for accounting reasons).

For example, if you don't take any time to learn something new for the first 4 full months of the year (4 12 = 48 hours), on May 1st you'd "only" have left the previous 2 months window worth of time budget (March, April) which adds-up with May's budget making it a total of 3 12 = 36h spendable in May. Please, remember that even in this case it would mean being off projects for almost 1 whole week, which would complicate things with customers probably, so use your own sensitivity to understand what makes sense or not.

A tool to facilitate personal training time and budget tracking is available in company's sharepoint://BigData/Documents/Self Management/TrainingBudgetTemplate.xlsx

All the guidelines to be followed for time tracking on Elapseit are available in Project Time Tracking (focus on the Training section).

Here is a list of how you can spend such budget:

Conferences

Conferences are a great resource to feed the technical growth and to stimulate the desire to try new technologies or to implement new solutions. The comparison with what others do is always positive.

You can attend one international (in Europe) conference per year. The conference must be inherent to the spectrum of technologies and interests of Agile Lab. Agile Lab will pay for:

• Trasportations
• Accomodation (max 3 nights)
• Conference Ticket
• Food (max 2 days)

All of them must be less than "Cash Budget" + 500 Eur (for travel expenses)

Note: the extra budget for travelling and accomodation of 500 Eur is to be intended as an extra bonus which doesn't add up to the standard budget. This means that, for example, if you spend 100 Eur in travel expenses you DON'T have 400 Eur as extra personal training budget. Another example: let's say the conference ticket costs 1000 Eur and as travel expenses you spend 100 Eur: in this case you don't have any other training budget left, since the 1000 Eur for the conference ticket consumed all of it. There's no "automatic conversion" of travel expenses budget to regular training budget, since this would be unfair w/r/t/ colleagues who don't attend a conference (thus having "only" 1000 Eur budget).

The days spent at the conference are subtracted by the "Time Budget". Check Conferences to see how to attend a conference.

Training material

With the "Cash Budget", you can buy courses, books and other materials useful for certifications or your professional path.

In the case of subscriptions, People Operations will make sure that the automatic renewal of the purchased service is not activated.

Learning

The "Time Budget" is also useful to attend internal workshops or online courses on our internal LMS. It is also allowed to spend your "Time Budget" to read books, follow bought courses, etc.

Extra time to study for certifications

You can decide to use the "Time Budget" to gain extra time to study in preparation for a certification (see Certifications for details about certification benefit).

Outsourced Technical Trainings

Another alternative are outsourced trainings, they are good compromises for those who are looking for a more effective (learn-by-doing) approach, but with tool boxes mostly full of I-shaped contents.

Such training must be inherent to the spectrum of technologies and interests of Agile Lab or related on foundational technical approaches at least.

Limitations are the same applied for conferences. Outsource Trainings for details.

NOTE: For guidelines about how to make/request purchases or reimbursements, please consult Spending Company Money.

Certifications

IT certifications are another great way to demonstrate our excellence in a specific field, so employees are encouraged to do them as much as possible. If you follow the process described in the Certifications section, Agile Lab will cover all the costs.

Open Source Contributing

In Agile Lab we want to let people express their potential contributing to world class open source projects. Please check how it works.

Remote Working

In Agile Lab we make an effort to put people first. When in their best mental and physical conditions, our employees are happier and we believe that a good work-life balance is vital for this to be achieved. We, therefore, encourage the nurturing of social relationships and the sharing of cultural values and we believe that our offices are great places to enable these valuable exchanges. It also offers great opportunities to introduce new people to the company's culture - remember that our junior colleagues can learn from senior ones to build attitudes and behaviors that can be helpful both in and out of office.

This produces value for the people, and people produce value for the company.

In this way, in Agile Lab despite all the contracts being full-remote, all offices remain open and available for whomever chooses to work from the office rather than working from home. The choice is completely up to you. There's no need to give a heads-up if one day you want to stay at home or you want to meet other colleagues at the office - Just sign the day on Elpaseit as "OP - Office presence".

Happy people means happy company, and the results is what matters to us (as usual).
