The Romanian government has doubled the salary guarantee cap for employees of strategic companies undergoing restructuring from 6 to 12 average gross salaries. This change, approved through an emergency ordinance, allows for the coverage of outstanding compensatory payments as well. The guarantee fund, financed by employer contributions, ensures payment of salaries and other financial rights when companies face financial difficulties. The ordinance clarifies which salary rights can be covered and allows multiple payment requests within the established limits. It also modifies procedures for accessing and contesting decisions related to the guarantee fund, aiming to provide better protection for employees during restructuring processes.
