Employee benefits packages are purchased mainly by companies with foreign capital, regardless of activity. (e.g., IT, petroleum, sales, and marketing) 

Smaller companies buy premium employee benefits products with larger limits and include the best private services. Larger companies prefer economy packages that give their employees quality, affordable benefits. 

Salary Levels 

Salary levels directly influence benefit provisions. Employees pay tax on benefits, so it is essential benefits are affordable so employees accept them. 

Location 

Company location influences benefit provisions and salaries, with the average monthly salary in Moldova being about €350. The best remuneration was in Chisinau (the capital of R. Moldova, where about 50% of the business is concentrated), Balti, and a few small cities. Over the last few years, the economic importance of small localities grew due to foreign investment in industry and services. Still, the average salaries are higher in Chisinau.
