The government has approved the increase in the quantum of minimally guaranteed salary in the real sector up to 3,500 lei from April 1. The decision was taken following consultations with social partners, at the tripartite dialogue on the platform of the National Commission for Collective Consultations and Negotiations (CNCNC).
According to the government’s communication and protocol department, the state regulates the payment of salaries from the units with financial autonomy, under the salary payment law No. 847/2002, through establishing the minimally guaranteed quantum of salary in the real sector, as well as several state norms and guarantees (payment of benefits of compensation for the work carried out in unfriendly conditions, payment of the night work, payment of the additional work, payment for the hours of standing and in technical unemployment, etc.).
The draft approved is set to ensure a continuous increase of the minimal guarantees in the salary payment sector, in order to maintain the employees’ purchasing power and ensure a fair competition environment regionally and internationally.
The minimally guaranteed quantum of the salary in the real sector is annually revised by the government, depending on the summary annual growth of the consumer prices index and the rate of enhancement of the labour productivity nationally. (Moldpres/Business World Magazine)
