	Accurate and highly stable temporal synchronization between an electron bunch and a pulse from an external seed laser is one of the key requirements for successful operation of a seeded FEL in the XUV and soft x-ray regime. These requirements become more stringent when the electron bunch is longitudinally compressed to sub-ps durations in order to increase the current for more efficient FEL action. In this paper we present experimental measurements of the electron bunch arrival time jitter after the first magnetic compressor of FERMI@Elettra seeded FEL as a function of the compression factor. The experimental behavior of the pulse-to-pulse time jitter agrees both with results from tracking code simulations and with predictions from an analytical approach that takes into account the different sources of time jitter in FERMI, namely the photoinjector drive laser, the RF accelerating cavity phases and voltages, and fluctuations in the chicane bending magnet currents. We also present predictions for the expected arrival time jitter in the final configuration of FERMI that includes two bunch compressors and for which the synchronization requirement is of order 100 fs or better.
