A recent study reveals that only 8% of Romanians are aware of their company's salary grid, leading to concerns about pay transparency. Many employees are unaware of the criteria for salary increases and feel that secrecy fosters favoritism and discrimination. Despite a European directive aimed at enhancing salary transparency, many companies still treat salary structures as taboo. While most employees desire open discussions about pay, only a third feel comfortable asking for explanations about their salaries. Experts suggest that clear communication about salary criteria could reduce internal conflicts. Romania missed a deadline to implement salary transparency legislation, risking infringement procedures.
