Former employees of GEPOS, a private healthcare facility in Telese Terme in the province of Benevento, say they received only part of the severance pay owed to them after their employment ended.

The dispute was reported by NTR24 on 14 September 2026. According to the report, the complaints come especially from nurses who resigned and closed their employment relationship with the facility, and who then received only a portion of the accrued trattamento di fine rapporto (TFR).

CGIL FP Benevento, the trade union representing the workers, says it has sent a formal demand to GEPOS for payment of the sums it considers still outstanding. The union says it is examining each worker's position to verify the amounts accrued, the amounts already paid, and any balance that may still be due.

The union also warns that if the matter is not resolved quickly, it may refer the case to the competent offices, including its legal office.

A healthcare facility in Telese Terme

GEPOS describes itself as a healthcare facility located at Via Roma 29 in Telese Terme. According to its official profile, it has operated since 1985 and has 60 beds accredited by the Italian National Health Service.

The current report does not specify how many former workers are affected, nor the amounts allegedly still unpaid.

What TFR is

TFR is a payment connected to the end of an employment relationship. The INPS information acquired during research describes how TFR is based on annual accruals and subsequent revaluations, but that explanation specifically concerns public employees. It therefore cannot automatically be applied to employees of a private healthcare facility such as GEPOS, where different contractual and administrative rules may apply.

That distinction matters for readers following this case: the existence of an end-of-employment payment is confirmed, but the calculation method, timing, and payment procedure for these particular workers will depend on their contracts and the rules applicable to their employer.

What remains unclear

Several key points have not been established in the reporting available so far:

  • How many former workers are involved, and whether workers other than nurses are affected.
  • Whether the disputed sums reflect partial payment, delayed payment, calculation differences, or another contractual or administrative issue.
  • What GEPOS says in response to the allegations. No response from the facility is included in the report.
  • The legal status and outcome of the union's formal demand.

For now, the verified position is limited: former workers allege incomplete payment, the union has demanded the remaining sums and is checking individual cases, and further union or legal action remains possible if the dispute is not resolved.
