The decree lets employers legally hire foreigners working continuously since at least December 31, 2011 by filing an application and paying 1,000 euros each plus six months worth of salaries, welfare and taxes.
The window of time for legalizing workers will end on October 15. According to the Leone Moressa Foundation an estimated 380,000 foreign workers need to be regularized, but employers may opt not to do so due to the prohibitive fee.
