Romanian minister of Finance: All state employees will have ten days of unpaid holiday
The minister of Finance also said that the local public apparatus will face redundancies because their staffs is too numerous. The gross staff spending will be cut by 0.66% of the GDP by June 2010, according to Pogea.
The measure was announced on Monday evening by the Economy minister Adriean Videanu. He said that one of the Government's measures to reduce staff spending will be to send the state employees in a ten-days unpaid holiday, leading to a 4% shrinkage of the salaries by the end of the current year. "There will be a solution from one department to another, so that we could achieve the savings", Videanu said, quoted by Romanian press agency NewsIn.
