Also, the obligation of the seasonal worker to prove that he maintains the guaranteed minimum gross salary for the entire period of stay is eliminated," the release reads.Other changes refer to the application of professional training requirements only in the case of regulated professions, as well as to the establishment of compensations for the employee in case the visa or the right of residence are revoked for reasons not attributable to him, the quoted source states."Romania thus aligns itself with European requirements, ensuring better protection of seasonal workers from third countries," according to the press release.The draft law approved by the Government on Wednesday will be sent to the Parliament for debate and approval.
