Agreement of the former governing coalition for the adoption of the salary law in the public sector by the end of June.

The Presidential Administration announced on Friday the signing of an agreement between PNL, PSD, USR, and UDMR, whereby the parties of the former governing coalition commit to adopting the public sector salary law by the end of the parliamentary session, that is, by the end of June.

The project will be published on Monday for decision-making transparency.

The agreement was made after the dismissal of the Bolojan Government through a motion of censure, and the negotiation was coordinated by the presidency.

The new law is an important milestone within the PNRR, having a value of 700 million euros, and the Presidential Administration has ensured that there will be no salary reductions for employees in the public sector.

"No employee in the public sector will experience a decrease in total income as a result of the application of the new law, and total salary expenses in the public sector in 2027 will not exceed the expenses of 2026 by more than 8 billion lei. According to the agreement, the application of the new law will not put Romania in a position to violate its short, medium, and long-term fiscal objectives," the Presidential Administration's statement shows.

The law will come into full effect on January 1, 2027, without staggered applications. The interim Minister of Labor, Dragoș Pâslaru, emphasized three essential principles: protecting employees' incomes, budgetary discipline, and predictable application. Consultations with trade unions and employers will begin on Tuesday, with the aim of finalizing the project in approximately two weeks.
