Inclusion of food allowance in annual leave indemnity calculation for public sector justice personnel under Law 153/2017
Romania (RO)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe High Court of Cassation and Justice (Supreme Court) dismissed as inadmissible the reference for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Bucharest Tribunal regarding the calculation of vacation allowances for public sector employees. The dispute centered on whether the "Justice" occupational family of budgetary functions is entitled to include the food allowance in the calculation of annual leave indemnities, corresponding to the period effectively worked, under the framework of public sector salary legislation. The court rejected the request based on procedural grounds, thereby leaving the lower court to resolve the individual labor law matter without binding guidance on the specific interpretation of Article 18 of Law No. 153/2017 (the Framework Law on the salary of public-funded personnel) and its subsequent amendments, which governs the components of public sector compensation.
