The State Tax Inspectorate of Chisinau municipality calls on the employees not to accept being paid salaries unofficially. “The underground economy undermines the financing of social security systems, hampers the implementation of coherent economic policies and can lead to distortion of social equity,” it is a said in a communique of the Inspectorate, quoted by IPN.

The Inspectorate warns the people about the disadvantages of illicit work such as the lack or reduced leave allowance, lack or limitation of the right to go leave and to be away from work on particular events, lack of insurance against particular risks, lack of allowances for temporary incapacity for work, maternity leave and child benefit. Those who are employed illegally also do not enjoy the protection provided by the legislation that regulates the right to work, the right to association and the right to negotiate an individual work contract and are limited in their right to get a bank loan.

“The unofficial payment of salaries seriously affects the economy and society and has a negative effect on the employees and employers too,” says the communique.

Those who work unofficially are encouraged to denounce the employer to the State Tax Inspectorate on 080001525. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
