EXCLUSIVE: Romania Public Sector Wages To Grow Next Year But Stay 13.75% Lower Than Before Pay Cut

Base salaries in the Romanian public sector will increase by 15% in 2011 which means they will still be 13.75% lower than in June this year, when the Government slashed a quarter of state workers’ pay, according to the unitary wage bill obtained by MEDIAFAX.

The document, which is dated November 17 and was discussed in the Cabinet meeting Wednesday, also reveals wage levels would not be changed by the end of 2012.

The bill will be sent to the International Monetary Fund for consultations before the Government seeks a confidence vote in Parliament to adopt it.

The bill sets a 15% wage increase for next year in the public sector, but compared to wage levels of October 2010. The Government in July slashed public sector wages by 25%, which means state workers will still have wages 13.75% lower than before they took a pay cut until the end of 2011.
