The persons who reached retirement, but do not possess documents showing the length of service for different reasons, while the employer’s archive was lost will have the pension calculated based on the average salary of persons of the same profession. A bill to this effect was passed by Parliament in the first reading, IPN reports.

The amendment made by the legislature refers to persons who, for particular reasons, such as fire, armed conflict, loss or destruction, do not possess documents showing the amount of money earned while working and the taxes paid on it.

The same bill provides for the increase of the period of issuing the decision concerning the acceptance or rejecting of the application for pension from 15 days to 30 days. Now the legislation stipulates that the application is examined within 15 days, while additional documents can be provided during 30 days. This created impediments when setting the size of pensions.
