Romania’s labor minister Marian Sarbu said Friday that the single and unitary wage law for the public sector would be applied to all institutions, with no exceptions, including the country’s regulatory agencies, public and private pension regulators and the securities watchdog.
Romania’s Public Sector Unitary Pay Law To Include All Institutions – Labor Min
The minister also said he notified government officials of potential exceptions to the unitary pay law with respect to institutions that signed collective labor contracts and salaries are set through negotiations.
Moreover, he said Prime Minister Emil Boc does not think it is wise to exclude these institutions from the unitary pay law, as the law should include all institutions, while laws targeting institutions that signed collective labor contracts should be reconsidered to find viable solutions in this respect.
The minister stressed the draft law regulating the unitary pay system would be completed until the deadline set on June 30.
Valentin Mocan, state secretary with Romania’s Labor Ministry, said Thursday, upon the meeting of the ministry’s workgroup, that significant steps were taken into the right direction, adding the public sector salary grid is close to being completed.
He also said that, according to proposals from ministries, the salary grid would include all public sector positions until next week.
The executive president of the “Publisind” union federation, Emilian Marian, said the country’s central bank governor and employees, as well as the employees of regies unfolding commercial activities, will not be included in the unitary pay law.
Romanian deputy prime minister Dan Nica said on April 22, after a meeting of the governing coalition, that the single unitary pay law in the public sector will keep a ratio of one to 15 between the minimum and maximum salary in the sector.
The deputy prime minister said one of the principles of the law would be to establish a hierarchy in accordance with the European system of wages in the public sector.
Boc announced on April 22 that the government is considering taking responsibility before Parliament for the unitary wage law in the public sector.
