Employing in Romania

The web contains few information in English on the matter of Labor regulations in Romania, although this is something of great interest to any foreign investor in the country. Without proper knowledge in this respect, the employer will risk important fines.

Hiring Romanian employees implies signing an Individual Labor Agreement and depending on certain factors, a Collective Labor Agreement. An Individual Labor Agreement shall contain clauses related to the following issues:a) Duration of Contract – The rule is to conclude the Labor Agreement for an undetermined period of time, however signing Agreements for determined periods of time can be done as an exception;b) Working Location – City and Unit where actual work takes place;c) Type of Work;d) Working Conditions;e) Salary;f) Working Hours.

If an employer has at least or more than 21 employees then the employer must start negotiations for the signing of the Collective Labor Agreement with the employees for determining working conditions, payment and other rights and obligations resulted from labor relationships.
