What is the change? Romania has announced higher salary minimums for foreign workers.
What does the change mean? The average gross monthly salary has been increased to 3,131 Romanian new leu (approximately 693 euros or US$734), up from 2,681 new leu in 2016. EU Blue Card salaries must equal four times that figure, or 12,524 new leu per month.
Background: Employers must meet the average gross monthly salary of 3,131 new leu for permanent workers and assignees. EU Blue Card salaries must equal four times the average gross monthly salary.
Additionally, foreign workers with dependent family members must prove a minimum gross monthly income of 1,450 new leu per month for each dependent (or 1,065 new leu net per month for 12 months if evidenced through bank statements).
BAL Analysis: Employers should budget for the 17-percent increase over last year’s salary thresholds and make sure that their employment contracts and secondment letters reflect the new salary rates.
