New law on salaries in budgetary sector finalized

The new law on salaries in the budgetary sector was finalized and is to be proposed for public consultations. The authorities aim to have this law adopted during the current session of Parliament so that this takes effect on December 1 this year. The initiative envisions pay raises for those working in health, education and culture and for the representatives of the local public authorities. Prime Minister Pavel Filip told a news conference that the law is designed to order the pay system in the budgetary sector and to support the categories of salary earners who were wronged in time, IPN reports.

The Premier assured that the law will wrong no one and will cause no losses. The salary earners will keep at least the current revenues. Also, no one from the budgetary sector will have the salary lower than the minimum subsistence level for the population able to work, which is 2,000 lei.

According to Pavel Filip, the effect of the pay raises in pre-university education will be felt by over 56,000 persons and the rise will be of about 20%. The salaries of 7,500 representatives of the local public administration will be raised by up to 20%. About 40,000 technical employees of the local public administration will have their pays raised by approximately 30%. The pays of about 6,000 personal assistants will grow by over 20%, while of social assistants by up to 55%. Nearly 6,000 budget-funded employees working in culture will have their pays increased by about 80%.

Minister of Finance Octavian Armașu said the discrepancy between the lowest and highest salaries is of 33 to 1. When the given law is implemented, the ratio will be 15 : 1. The way in which the salaries of budget-funded employees rise is another inequity. The pays of some of the categories increase faster, while of other categories remain unchanged for even ten years. The new law will eliminate the inequities and all the budget-funded employees will be remunerated according to a common pay grade that envisions annual raises for each category.

The minister noted a number of  salary bonuses will be kept, including the monthly bonus for qualification, military rank, special rank and diplomatic rank, for scientific and honorific titles and for performance. But the allowances for managers of education instantons and health facilities, for keeping the state secret, for using foreign languages in service and other bonuses will be annulled.
