PwC by your side 24/7: Updated average monthly salary for 2017

• 31.07.2017

Vă informăm că Guvernul Republicii Moldova a aprobat majorarea salariului mediu lunar pe economie pentru anul 2017. Astfel, începând cu 21 iulie 2017, cuantumul acestuia va fi de 5.600 lei, cu 300 de lei mai mult față de valoarea anterioară.

Acest indicator urmează să fie utilizat la efectuarea mai multor calcule, de exemplu:

• calculul contribuțiilor de asigurări sociale de stat obligatorii, de către companiile a căror activitate de bază este realizarea de programe, pentru asigurarea socială a angajaților care întrunesc condițiile prevăzute în legislație;
• calculul indemnizațiilor pentru incapacitate temporară de muncă;
• determinarea dreptului de deducere a cheltuielilor pentru hrana organizată a angajaților, conform prevederilor din legislație (doar dacă salariul mediu lunar brut pe angajat este cel puțin egal cu 75% din cuantumul salariului mediu lunar pe economie prognozat pentru fiecare an);
• determinarea cuantumului ajutorului material în bani sau în natură (acordat pe parcursul anului de către angajatori angajaților sau foștilor angajați la locul de muncă de bază) pentru care nu se percep contribuții de asigurări sociale de stat obligatorii, datorate de angajator și angajat.
