Întrebare: What are the employer's obligations regarding the salary rights of employees posted from Romania in the context of transnational service provision?
Răspuns: The employer has the obligation to grant employees from Romania, during the period of secondment, the minimum wage applicable on the territory of the member state, as defined by the law and/or practice of the member state, on the territory of which the employee is seconded.
During the period of secondment, the employee will benefit from expenses generated by the secondment - any expenses with transport, accommodation and meals, incurred for the purpose of the secondment, as well as a specific allowance for transnational secondment - an allowance intended to ensure the social protection of employees granted in order to compensate for the inconveniences caused by the secondment, which consist of the employee's removal from his usual environment.
