THE ORDINANCE AMENDS GEO 8/2009 ON GRANTING HOLIDAY VOUCHERS. REGULATIONS SPECIFIC TO EMPLOYEES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR ARE INTRODUCED.

Thus, staff working for public authorities and institutions, as well as those hired by state economic operators may receive holiday vouchers having the value of a minimum gross wage for the country (RON 1,450).
Each employee may receive one holiday allowance, at the value of RON 1,450, during the July 2017 to November 2018 period.
Issuance of holiday vouchers will be mandatory starting the 1st of December 2018.
Holiday vouchers, however, will be granted depending on the budget of the respective institution/authority, with employers establishing when to grant the holiday allowance.
For the remaining employers, the maximum amount which may be granted as holiday vouchers is the equivalent of no more than six national minimum gross salaries per employee during a fiscal year.
