“We clarify that the legal provision regarding the obligation to pay social insurance contributions and social health insurance contributions at the level of the minimum gross salary guaranteed upon payment, in the case of full-time or part-time individual employment contracts, will be analyzed by the Ministry of Finance and the consequences of this application will be assessed,” the institution’s document says.

The answer is surprising. Such an analysis should have been done earlier, especially since they had data on this topic, a similar measurement was made several years ago.

HotNews.ro recently presented relevant data in the article: Overpayment of part-time work: a measure based on lies? Where are the 300,000 full-time “watchmen”? What do the numbers say?

That is, they decided to overestimate the part-time job “by ear.”

We clarify that the measure can be corrected in the parliament, since there are already proposals for cancellation in the specialized committees of the Senate, where Decree 16/2022 (on tax increases) is currently located.
