Very few people know what additional costs an employer has with an employee who takes only half the money the company spends on him, Feliciu Parasciv, vice president of the National Association of Small and Medium-Sized Traders of Romania, said Thursday.

“I would also like to present the employer’s point of view. Very few people probably know, beyond the paycheck you see in your hand, what the employer is paying behind the scenes or what additional costs the employer has. The employer, with the gross salary, whether it is lower or higher, he pays CAS 25%, CASS 10%, tax 10%, even if they are transferred to the employee, the employee does not pay them, the employer pays them for There is another percentage of 2.25% , employment insurance contribution, we still have 10% CASS on food vouchers, we also have a new tax from 1 January 10% on food vouchers. We also have a 10% holiday tax. This increases the employee’s salary expenditure by, say, 4,000 lei or 3,000 lei or 5,000 lei to double it. If we also take into account the equipment received, the medical tests that you periodically send to them and many other benefits, I think that the employee takes only half of the money that the company spends on him,” explained Parashchiv at the conference “Good employer, bad employer organized by the Coalition for Freedom of Commerce and Communications (CLCC), according to Agerpres

At the same time, he noted that the employee must understand that he must earn this money, because otherwise the company will not put it anywhere.

“It has to produce them and obviously it has to produce more than that so that the company can grow, make investments, move forward. At the moment when he does not produce at least his salary, the company will definitely enter the bankruptcy zone sooner or later,” said Parashchiv.

On the other hand, the vice-president of the ANCMMR emphasized that working with workers is quite difficult, because they have “many, many advantages”, not so much financial, but benefits given by the state.

“And I’ll give you an example: if an employee simply doesn’t come to work tomorrow, I have no way to sanction him. Here, in commerce, this law is twisted by energy workers, and we will no longer sell energizers to minors. The fine is 30,000 lei, from 30 000 lei. Let’s assume a scenario where an employee was instructed that he is not allowed to sell to minors, but he sells an energizer to minors, and the company receives a fine of 30,000 lei. , who do you think will pay the fine? Because it is purely a fault and a mistake employee? With a salary of 4000 lei, it means that you have to take his salary for six months, so the company will pay. How will he collect? Well, he will fine 10% of the salary a month after the commission, after being called to the disciplinary commission, etc. No one notices all these behind-the-scenes moments. The employee works if he wants to, if he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t work. A warning must be given, brought to the disciplinary commission to… to… to… And stop doing all these things. because there is a crisis of workers and then you have to move on and accept certain things that you normally shouldn’t accept. You turn a blind eye as an employer, you tolerate certain things and more than that, you notice that people keep leaving your company. And you come to the conclusion that salary is not the only motivation,” explained Feliciu Paraskiv.

He noted that he noticed that the worker wants what he does not have: if he has a low salary, he wants a high salary, he wants more free time, etc.

“And know that for some reason vacation has become very important for employees. Know that no one wants to work extra hours anymore. 40 hours a week and period. Two days off a week, we don’t discuss, he left at two o’clock, if you don’t give them. All days off that the state gives: Pentecost, I don’t know what, I don’t know what. We had a blood donation campaign and, of course, the employees found in the law that when donating blood, whoever donated blood has the right to a day off. Everyone asked for it. It was an electronic census. Anyone who did an electronic census could get a day off, of course, from the employer, not from the state. Because the state does not paid the employer. He had to give the day off. These are things that cannot be seen,” said the vice-president of the ANCMR.

He noted that Gen X and Millenials are the hardest to work with, “because these people want instant gratification,” because they were born with a phone in their hand and can answer any question at any second.
