What is the salary of a Romanian commune mayor. The mayors are asking for higher fees
You can earn a “beautiful” salary in Romania too, of even 2,000 euros net, for those who are willing to work hard for this money.
For example, farmers complain that they cannot find employees.
14,000 lei for a tractor driver
During this period, farmers are looking for tractor drivers, but the search is all the more difficult as fewer and fewer young people are interested in learning this job, observatornews.ro announces.
Although in Romania there are 58 high schools with an agricultural profile, there are very few tradesmen who graduate from the schools.
The net salary for a tractor driver starts from 3,000-4,000 lei and can reach up to 10,000 lei depending on the machine handled. The highest salaries in the field are offered in Transylvania.
Dimitrie Muscă, the administrator of the farms of the Curtici Agroindustrial Complex in Arad, boasts that he gives salaries of 14,000 lei for tractor drivers. Those who operate high-performance combines can receive more than 10,000 lei per month.
Even under these conditions, employers complain that they cannot find people willing to work.
Increased salaries at European Funds
A project developed by the General Secretariat of the Government (SGG) aims to increase salaries for the staff involved in the management of European funds and those employed in the specialized structures that manage the Instrument for Technical Support (IST).
According to the project, the basic salaries for the staff managing community funds can be increased by at least 50% compared to the level provided by the law, but not more than 100%.
These increases are justified as necessary to ensure the competence and involvement of this staff in the successful implementation of projects financed by European funds.
