Emergency Ordinance no. 127/2024 introduces significant changes to social legislation, impacting insurance for work accidents and occupational diseases. Starting November 11, 2024, the calculation of allowances for temporary work incapacity will be based on the average gross income earned from the primary employer over the past six months, excluding income from other employers. Additionally, it specifies that insured persons suffering from severe burns affecting at least 10% of body surface are entitled to a 100% allowance based on this income for the entire treatment and recovery period.

Amendments to Law no. 448/2006, effective from January 2025, impose new obligations on public and private sector employers with over 50 employees to hire persons with disabilities in a proportion of at least 4% of the total workforce. To fulfill this requirement, entities are mandated to seek support from NGOs that provide services for people with disabilities, thereby ensuring access to available positions.

The required documentation includes a written request sent to the NGOs along with details about the available positions; this request must also be submitted to relevant authorities. Additionally, employers are required to submit an annual report of employed persons with disabilities and the competencies required for these positions to the National Authority for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities and ANOFM, by January 31 each year.

This annual report ensures clear records and compliance with the new legal requirements, facilitating the integration of persons with disabilities into the labor market and protecting their rights.
