When Romania joined the EU it accepted the Acquis Communitaire, meaning that European and national provisions on the transfer of undertakings are applicable in Romania. However, because of the Romanian legislation, various open questions remain.

Legislative hindrances

In Romania, the relevant norms mainly consist of Law no. 67/2006 on the protection of employees' rights in case of transfers of undertakings, units or parts thereof (Law 67/2006). Some relevant provisions can also be found in the Romanian Labour Code (art. 169-170).

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.
