Romanian Definite-Period Individual Work Contract To Run For Three Yrs – Draft

Under the current Labor Code, an individual work contract runs for 24 months.

According to the draft act obtained by MEDIAFAX, an individual work contract for a definite period can be extended after termination, with the written consent of both the employer and the employee, for the period during which a project, program or work are carried out.

The draft eliminates the provision stating the two parties can sign at most three definite-period work contracts successively.

The act also eliminates the provision whereby, at the termination of the third work contract, employers and employees can sign a work contract for an indefinite period.

The document states that an employer can resort to temporary work agents to carry out specific tasks, for a period that can not exceed 24 months, instead of 12 months, as per current legislation. A temporary work agent is any authorized commercial company that signs temporary work contracts with temporary employees to have them carry out tasks for an employer. The temporary work period can be extended, but the entire interval cannot exceed 36 months, reads the draft act.

Under the current Labor Code, the temporary work period can be extended only once and the entire interval can not exceed 18 months.
