The Romanian Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, urges employees facing unpaid overtime to report their employers to the Territorial Labor Inspectorates. He emphasizes that workers should not accept such situations and should take action. Previously, the law imposed a fine of 300 lei for forcing employees to work unpaid overtime. Following complaints about abuses at Damen Mangalia, employers now face fines for each affected employee. Manole also highlighted recent legislative changes addressing workplace harassment, noting the positive feedback from employees, particularly in corporations. He acknowledged that while some employers are problematic, many companies in Romania are reputable.
