The pays of servicemen, personnel of troops and command bodies and the employees of national defense, state security and public order bodies will be set according to the intersector priority index of 1.25%. A decision to this effect was taken by the Government on Wednesday. At practical level, this means that the salary will increase by 19% for about 20,000 people, said Minister of Labor, Social Protection and Family Valentina Buliga, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The pays will rise from January. A sum of 154 million lei is needed for the purpose.
