The Law Decree 34/2014, in examination by the standing parliamentary commission, will be voted from Tuesday, April 22. The amendments proposed by the commission keep substantially intact the text of the decree but among these include the following: in matter of fixed-term contracts, extensions are expected to be reduced to a maximum of 5 (instead of 8) and the limit set at 20% must be calculated on total open-term employees, and not on the whole of the staff employed by the company; in matter of apprenticeship, however, with high probability it will be changed back to a share of apprentices in the stabilization rate of 20% but only in the company with more than 30 employees.
