The medical and non-medical personnel will benefit from a salary supplement for working night shifts - between 22.00 and 6.00 a.m. A regulation to this effect was approved by the Government on Wednesday, IPN reports.

"The maximum amount to be offered for a night shift constitutes 1000 lei, money that will be added to the existing salary package," said the Minister of health, labour and social protection Ala Nemerenco.

Middle-level medical personnel will have a supplement of up to 500 lei, while technical staff - 380 lei. In district level institutions, the amount of the supplement will constitute 700 lei for doctors, 380 lei for middle-level medical personnel and 200 lei for the technical staff.
