Labor Code

The individual employment contract is concluded based on the consent of the parties, in writing, in Romanian, no later than the day before the employee starts working. The obligation to conclude the individual employment contract in writing and hand over a copy to the employee rests with the employer.
Before starting work, the individual employment contract is registered in the General Register of Employees, no later than the day before the start of activity.

A person can only be employed based on a medical certificate, which confirms that the person in question is fit to perform that work. Failure to meet this condition renders the individual employment contract null and void.

The employment of young people under the age of 15 is prohibited. The individual acquires the capacity to work upon reaching the age of 16.
Young people who have reached the age of 15 can be employed based on the individual employment contract with the consent of their parents or legal representatives, only if the work performed does not endanger their health and professional training.
