The most important specifications of the law that came into force on October 3rd, amending and completing the Labour Code, are the following:

  • Any Romanian who is interested in being employed, can be assisted at the time of negotiating or signing his/her employment contract, by a person specializing in labour matters. This also applies to cases where contractual clauses may be modified. Accordingly, the employee may even be accompanied, by a representative of the union of which the employee is a member of.
  • The parties may conclude a confidentiality agreement at any time during the performance of the employment contract, not only before concluding it, as provided by the Labor Code so far.

Pay Transparency In Romania: From Compliance Obligation To Risk Management

Romania's legislative process for transposing the EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces comprehensive obligations for employers to establish equal pay systems, disclose salary information during recruitment, and report gender pay gaps. These new requirements transform pay transparency from a compliance checkbox into a critical risk management tool, as workers gain enhanced rights to information and compensation for pay discrimination.

Employers May Keep Copies Of Individual Employment Contracts In Electronic Form, Provided They Are Concluded Using An Electronic Signature

Employers must maintain individual employment contracts at the workplace, but electronic storage is now permitted under specific conditions. The electronic copy requires more than simple scanning—it must be electronically signed and certified as a true copy by the employer's legal representative or authorized person. This requirement establishes clear standards for digital record-keeping compliance in employment documentation.

Clauzele de confidentialitate privind salariul nu vor trebui eliminate din contractele individuale de munca, insa vor trebui adaptate pentru a nu impiedica exercitarea drepturilor stabilite de Directiva (UE) 2023/970 privind transparenta salariala

The EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces new obligations for employers regarding salary disclosure and confidentiality clauses. While individual salaries won't be made public, employers must justify pay differences through objective criteria and may need to revise internal confidentiality policies. The directive limits the use of confidentiality clauses that prevent employees from discussing their own remuneration for the purpose of verifying equal pay rights.
