The government decision also clarifies the mandatory social contributions owed by employees of employers in a state of insolvency or in a preventive arrangement that are borne by the Guarantee Fund, namely the social insurance contribution and the one for social health insurance, the cited source specifies.
Also, the regulatory act updates the administrative procedures for the payment of salary claims, as well as the necessary documents.
"Law no. 200/2006 regulates the establishment and use of the Guarantee Fund for the payment of wage claims, a social protection mechanism intended for employees whose wage rights can no longer be paid by their employers, as a result of the opening of insolvency or composition proceedings, and introduces the category of economic agents of strategic interest established by government decision. The legislative framework was recently amended and completed by Government Emergency Ordinance no. 6/2026," the executive mentioned.
