The social partners in the financial and banking sector signed their second branch-level collective agreement. This is one of the few branch-level agreements that exist in Romania. On the same day, they also signed an agreement on teleworking. These two texts will apply to almost 23,000 employees. The agreement raises the gross minimum wage fixed in 2018 from RON 2,500 to RON 3,300 (from €505 to €667) and establishes pay increases linked to length of service. The teleworking agreement contains the possibility of covering equipment costs, sets limits on the surveillance of workers while working remotely and establishes a right to disconnect for workers.
