Giorgetti is 31 years old and lives in Bucharest with her parents, especially because they are sick and she wants to take care of them. They cannot feed themselves, and she decided this year, after the course, to get another part-time job.

“I finish work around 4 p.m., start in the morning, but I said to do something else. It’s about my passion: makeup artist,” she said.

After finishing the courses, she immediately found a job in a beauty salon. The employer asked her if she still had a job, but she said no because she didn’t understand why he was interested.

In the meantime, she found out the reason, it is related to the supplement introduced last year, but she does not like to tell her employer that she still works somewhere, that is, she is a receptionist in a fitness center in Bucharest.

She pays a lot for pension and health care, i.e. for two minimum salaries. At the gym, she is paid slightly above minimum wage and in some months a performance bonus, and at the salon, although she is paid for 4 hours, her employer pays her contributions for 8 hours.

This does not mean that they bring double benefits to health, for example, because we all know for years the problem of funds, which has become acute, and because exceptions have been introduced, that is, categories of workers (about 800 thousand) in agriculture, food industry and construction. This is one of the reasons why when we want to do an analysis, there are no funds.

Let’s see if they will hit us with the economy measures prepared by the Government: they will cut off goods and services in the field of health care.

Back to the point, some people who work part-time but haven’t told their employers they’re still working full-time wonder if they’ll get a higher pension given they’re being paid more CAS. state.

Current legislation stipulates that the employee is obliged to submit a declaration of self-responsibility to the employer, but there are no fines.. That order, a few paragraphs down, only says that if he doesn’t, employers will pay part-time for 8 hours.

Will people who are paid contributions for 8 hours part-time get a higher pension?

HotNews.ro sent an inquiry about this to the Ministry of Labour, and from the answers we received to some questions, we understand that it is.

(He could not answer other questions, so the institution sent the request to the Ministry of Finance).

The Ministry of Labor informed us:

“If a person simultaneously receives wage income under a full-time employment contract (8 hours) and income under a part-time employment contract (2-4 hours), then the insurance period is 8 hours.

However, when determining the monthly point, the income received under two employment contracts for which social contributions should have been paid is accumulated.

In summary, an employee who simultaneously carries out activities on the basis of two employment contracts, one full-time and one part-time, has an advantage in terms of the achieved average annual score in the sense that it will be higher.

How the pension is calculated

What will happen years from now when we retire, in terms of legislation, we don’t know. But now we are referred to the current legislation.

The Ministry of Labor informs that currently the provisions of Law No. 263/2010.

The size of the pension is calculated by multiplying the average annual score of the insured by the amount of the pension score valid at the time of establishment of pension rights.

Currently, the cost of a pension point is 1,785 lei.

The number of points earned each month is calculated by reporting the individual’s gross monthly wage, including allowances and allowances, or, as the case may be, the monthly insurable income that was the basis for calculating the individual’s social security contribution, to the average gross monthly wage of this month, reports the National Institute of Statistics.

The number of points scored for each month is summed up and divided by 12 gives the insured’s annual score for the relevant year, regardless of the number of months of the year for which social insurance contributions were due.

These, in turn, are added and the result is divided by the number of years corresponding to the policyholder’s full contribution period, the result representing the average annual score achieved by the policyholder during the contribution period.

Thus, when establishing pension rights, incomes achieved during the entire professional activity, for which social insurance contributions were accrued/paid, are taken into account.

The average annual score is directly proportional to the level of wages received during the period of activity, in the sense that wages lower than the level of average gross or net wages in the economy to which they belong can determine a lower average annual score, and vice versa.

For the periods worked after 01.04.2001, the data that are the basis for determining the average annual score are obtained from the personal monthly declarations submitted by employers to territorial pension funds and after 01.01.2011 from the unified declaration for social contributions and income tax – form 112, which is submitted by the employer to the NAFP through territorial fiscal units.

“At the same time, we inform you that in accordance with the provisions of Art. 45 of Law No. 263/2010, with further amendments and additions, in the state pension system, the period of payment of contributions consists of the sum of the periods for which the insured person had to pay contributions to the state social insurance budget and, as the case may be, by the employer,” says the Ministry of Labor .
