"Post Covid-19" Governmental Support For The Labour Market

12 June 2020 – New measures to strengthen the labour market adopted by the Romanian government via Emergency Ordinance no. 92/2020 establishing active support measures for employees and employers in the context of the epidemiological situation caused by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, as well as the amendment of several normative acts ("G.E.O. no. 92/2020"), came into force on 29 May 2020.

These measures, generally seen as "post COVID-19" actions, are mainly aimed at (a) providing financial support to employers to reduce the negative social and economic effects caused by the spread of COVID-19 and, implicitly, (b) to prevent an increase in the unemployment rate.
