Labour cost survey details |
| Methodology |
The objective of the annual labour cost survey is to provides the necessary elements for the calculation of the gross, net, monthly and hourly earnings broken down by national economy activity, ownership type, legal form, employee category, sex, macroregion, development region and county.
In 2023 it was conducted on a sample of about 27900 economic and social operators, from all enterprise size classes, irrespective of the employee number. The economic units with 50 or more employees are exhaustively surveyed. The units of the "budgetary sector" are exhaustively surveyed, except for local public administration units for which the data on local communal councils are collected based on a representative sample at county level (about 820 units). Armed forces and similar staff (the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Romanian Intelligence Service etc.) are excluded.
Starting with the reference year 2013, in order to improve the quality estimates and to increase the overall response rate, estimation methods were applied, by imputing the missing data from the statistical survey with the data reported in administrative sources ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112)", owned by National Agency for Fiscal Administration). The imputation rate is under 10%. Type of non-response taken into account: refusal, units not identified, units not contacted, dormant or insolvency units at the end of the reference period (that reported data in administrative sources).
Starting with the reference year 2017, in order to improve the reliability of the data at county (NUTS3) and CANE Rev.2 division (2 digits) level, the survey sample was extended by economic units belonging to the size class below 50 employees, for which methods of estimating the statistical indicators from administrative sources were applied ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112)'').
The average net monthly earnings results by subtracting from the paid gross amount related to the average gross monthly earnings the mandatory social contributions of the employees and the corresponding tax, the results being divided by the average number of employees and by the number of months of the year.
The average gross monthly earnings is defined according to the specifications from the FOM107C matrix.
The average number of employees is defined according to the specifications from the FOM104B matrix.
Starting from 2019, in accordance with the national legal provisions in force, certain categories of employees benefit from fiscal facilities in terms of tax and mandatory social contributions. Also, in some economic activities, a differentiated minimum gross basic salary is applied.
The public ownership comprises: State integral ownership, National and local interest public ownership.
Private ownership comprises: Integral private ownership.

| Observations |
The starting year for the data series is 1994. Starting with this year is applied the current classification for ownership's forms.
Starting with 2008 data are available only for total employees.
By contrast to the average monthly nominal net earnings disseminated on monthly basis, the average monthly nominal net earnings disseminated on annual basis, comprise also the severance payments, respectively backdated paid arrears as consequence of wining the lawsuits involving the money rights related to previous years.
The legal provisions in force (GEO No. 79/2017, as subsequently amended and supplemented) concerning the social security contribution, respectively the social health insurance contribution that were borne by the employer, were transferred to the employee starting with January 2018 and do not affect the data series comparability for the ''average monthly net earnings''. |
