The government has extended the period for employees of financially troubled strategic companies to receive unpaid salaries from six to twelve months. The maximum amount per employee has also increased to twelve average gross salaries. This change, approved through an emergency ordinance, specifically targets certain companies and not all employers with salary arrears. The twelve salaries represent the maximum guarantee, not an automatic payment. Companies that have already accessed the fund can apply for the remaining unpaid salaries under new transitional rules. The measure aims to provide financial security to employees during restructuring processes, helping retain skilled personnel.
