Romania: Posting of workers for the delivery of transnational services

The new law (16/2017) on the “posting of workers for the delivery of transnational services” will come into force on May 20th 2017. This requires foreign employers to notify the Romanian Labour inspectorate (Inspectia Muncii) one business day before they dispatch a posted worker to Romania. The law guarantees workers posted between Romania and another EU state (plus Switzerland) basic terms and conditions that are the most generous on offer by law or sectoral collective agreement in either state. Wages, holidays, working time and related data must also be held by posting companies for three years after the posting has taken place.  Companies not established in the EU (including Switzerland) that post employees to Romania must only comply with standards set by Romanian law.
