Unique law for budgetary personnel wage policy

The Government will adopt on Wednesday the principles of the unique budgetary personnel salary policy. The new law will eliminate the „privileges in the public wages system and will create a true correspondence between specialized education and wages”, said prime minister Emil Boc.

The ratio between the highest and the lowest wage in the public system will decrease from 1/72 to 1/15.

Education unions are against the new law, while a professional association of judges demanded the suspending of the entire law-making process, accusing the fact that the association was denied its legal participation in negotiations.

According to the new law, bonuses in the public system can’t rise above 30% of the salary.
