\nAt the gross minimum wage of 2080 lei per month, the net pay received by the employee is 1.263 lei, while the total cost paid by the company is 2.127 lei.
\nAt the same time, for a minimum monthly gross wage of 2.350 lei, the net salary received by the employee is 1.413 lei, and the total cost paid by the company is 2.403 lei.
\nFor comparison, from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018, the levels of wage were: gross minimum salary 1.900 lei, net minimum salary of 1.162 lei and salary cost of the company 1.943 lei.

\n\"\"<\/a>With regard to minimal wage 2019 in construction companies, Emergency Ordinance 114\/2018 establishes a higher minimum salary in the construction companies, which also comes with a tax exemption and a part of social contributions.
\nSo, between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2028, in the construction sector the minimum gross national monthly salary wage in payment is set at 3,000 lei for a normal work schedule of 8 hours a day.
\nEmployees to whom this minimum wage applies are employers that:
\n– operates in construction activity defined by the CAEN code 41.42.43 – section F – Constructions;
\n– operates in the fields of production of building materials, defined by the following CAEN codes:
\n\u2022 2312 – Processing and shaping of flat glass;
\n\u2022 2331 – Manufacture of ceramic tiles and slabs;
\n\u2022 2332 – Manufacture of bricks, tiles and other construction products of burnt clay;
\n\u2022 2361 – Manufacture of concrete products for construction;
\n\u2022 2362 – Manufacture of plaster products for construction;
\n\u2022 2363 – Manufacture of concrete;
\n\u2022 2364 – Manufacture of mortar;
\n\u2022 2369 – Manufacture of other articles of concrete, cement and plaster;
\n\u2022 2370 – Cutting, shaping and finishing of stone;
\n\u2022 2223 – Manufacture of articles of plastics for construction;

\nAlso, from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2028, employees from companies in the above areas can benefit from income tax exemption of 10% from healthcare contributions (CASS) and 10% reduction in pension contribution (CAS) from 25% to 21.25%. At the same time, the employer will pay an insurance contribution for reduced work by 85% of its value. Thus the contribution decreases from 2.25% to 0.337% of the gross salary.
\nFor these reductions, the employer must fulfill two conditions:
\n– achieves turnover, from the aforementioned activities, within the limit of at least 80% of the total turnover, calculated cumulatively from the beginning of the year, including the month in which the exemption applies;
\n– the gross monthly earnings from salaries and assimilated salaries made by the individuals for whom the exemption applies, are between 3.000 and 30.000 lei per month and are achieved and are based on the individual labor contract. The salaries of the employees from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2028 are not included within these limits.
\nThus, in the construction sector, under normal working conditions, taking by example a gross minimum salary of 3000 lei, the employee receives a net salary of 2362 lei and the employer pays a salary cost of 3010 lei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
