In the ordinance with fiscal measures from the end of last year, a drastic limitation on the number of sectors where day laborers can be used was slipped in, reducing them from 22 to 3, with the tourism sector disappearing from the list.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hoteliers complain that this measure will seriously affect the industry and that they will be forced to hire additional staff in restaurants, which will cause the rates for organizing weddings in such spaces to be higher, and the price of a meal on the coast to also increase starting this year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Calin Ile, president of the Federation of the Romanian Hotel Industry (FIHR), specified that in hotel restaurants it was possible, until last year, to hire bartenders, waiters, and cooks as day laborers. But now in tourism, you are no longer allowed to do this, due to the removal of the sector from the day laborer category; instead, you must hire such a person for a fixed period of at least three months, given that, until today, tourism was one of the fields where day laborers were used extensively. Now, it is hoped that this limitation will be modified again, the subject currently being discussed by the ministries of Labor, Finance, and the Business Environment, but without it being clear if tourism will be reintroduced into the day laborer category.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He adds that on the coast as well, day laborers were used a lot, especially on weekends when the number of tourists in resorts increased significantly. Limiting the sectors where day laborers can be hired, states Calin Ile, greatly increases labor costs and could generate more “black economy.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Certainly, the increase in labor costs will be reflected in the price of weddings and food in seaside restaurants, he warns.<\/div>\n
