A proposed law in Romania aims to eliminate the additional taxation on part-time contracts, allowing social contributions to be calculated based on actual earnings instead of the minimum wage. This change could lower costs for employers and encourage part-time employment, particularly in sectors with variable staffing needs. The initiative, supported by multiple political parties, seeks to amend the tax code to remove the minimum contribution base for pensions and health insurance. Proponents argue that the current system discourages part-time hiring and has not effectively addressed underreported work. The proposed changes could benefit around 130,000 part-time contracts that have reportedly vanished since the introduction of the tax mechanism in 2022.
