Avertisment: Locuri de muncă pentru persoane cu dizabilități în pericol și costuri mai mari pentru firme

The Romanian government aims to restrict the types of firms eligible to become protected units, potentially reducing job opportunities for people with disabilities. The proposed law L387/2026 could lead to increased payments to the state for companies failing to meet the 4% employment threshold for disabled individuals. Legal experts warn that while the intention to eliminate fictitious activities is valid, the proposed solutions may harm genuine organizations that provide real job opportunities. The bill has been rejected by the Senate and is currently under consideration by the Chamber of Deputies, which will make the final decision. The analysis suggests that the focus should be on verifying actual employment and contributions of disabled individuals rather than limiting the types of entities that can establish protected units.
