indemnity

Romanian mothers who return to work at any time before the end of the two-year maternity leave might receive an indemnity of 500 lei (EUR1=RON4.2996), Labor Minister Ioan Botis said Friday.

Romanian mothers of multiples need to choose between an indemnity of 600 lei (EUR1=RON4.2463) per child or an indemnity worth 85% of the incomes achieved in the past 12 months plus RON600 for the second or third child.

Romanian deputies adopted Tuesday, with 216 "pros," 2 "cons" and 4 abstentions, a legislative initiative, which stipulates that women who give birth to twins, triplets or multiples will receive for each baby an additional indemnity of 600 lei (EUR1=RON4.1548) starting with the second child.
