Working Group 4 Meeting – “Reducing Informal Employment and the Practice of Envelope Wages” was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, within the framework of the Economic Council under the Prime Minister.
The meeting brought together representatives of employers’ associations, trade unions, the business community and public authorities to discuss an issue of major importance to the business community: the Draft Law on calculating annual leave in working days rather than calendar days.
This topic is a priority for FIA Moldova and is included among the recommendations put forward by the investment community, as reflected in the FIA White Book 2025.
FIA Moldova was represented by HR specialists from its member companies, who highlighted the practical challenges that may arise from implementing the new mechanism for calculating annual leave, particularly for employees working in shifts.
The discussions provided a platform for dialogue aimed at identifying solutions that better reflect the realities of the business environment and ensure a clear, fair and predictable regulatory framework for both employers and employees.
