摘要：Personnel remuneration is an important tool of management that influences the efficiency of a company's business. The transition from the centralized economy to the market economy requires essential changes in the field of human resources salaries. The salary is the total amount of money due to employees for their work. In this article,the authors start from the importance of labor in the production activity of each country. Salaries depend on the capacity of each economy,both for the people working in the budgetary system and in the private system,to ensure adequate salaries,and the European Union aims to achieve,as far as possible,an approximation of the level of pay in the member countries of the European Union. The authors analyze purchasing power parity as an important indicator in assessing the quality of life in each country. An element of analysis over which the authors have stopped is represented by the minimum wage in Romania as well as in the Member States of the European Union. Another aspect over which the authors stop is the gender pay gap. Romania is the country in the European Union with the smallest differences in salaries received by women and men. The small gender pay gap in Romania is explained by the fact that women and men alike gain little.
