Over the past years, the labour environment in Romania has faced substantial changes. Efforts were made to finalize the transition from the legal framework inherited from the communist regime to a modern system, in accordance with the rules and principles
applicable in most of the European Union member states.
The Labour Code enacted in 2003 gathers under a single legal enactment most of the rules and requirements applicable to the
employment relationships, such as those regarding the form, content and regime of the individual employment agreement, the rights and obligations of the employers and of the employees and the termination of employment.
Beside the Labour Code, specific tailored legal enactments regulate other employment related aspects, such as labour safety and health, insurances for labour accidents and professional diseases, labour conflicts
and disputes.
Finally, the collective bargaining agreements were introduced under the new legal labour framework, providing for binding rules and obligations to be complied with by the employers.
