The project “Financing of wages, remunerations and employer contributions for eligible employees of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic and remuneration of eligible employees outside the employment relationship under OP R & I – January 2016-December 2017” aims at financing the salaries of the employees involved in the implementation of the R & I OP and the closure of the 2007-2013 programming period under OP KaHR in 2016 and 2017. The implementation of the project activities will create a basic precondition for ensuring stable, high-quality and motivated administrative capacities of the IB and the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic. The average annual planned number of administrative capacities (AK) financed by the project is 100. The duration of the project is 24 months. The result of the project is sufficient and qualified staffing for the implementation and management of the R & I OP, as well as ensuring that turnover of staff involved in the implementation of the R & I OP is avoided or reduced.
