Issuing compliant Romanian employment contracts for your international recruits with Leap29 as your dedicated PEO partner
A country with a lot to offer, Romania presents an attractive business opportunity for companies looking to expand globally. Not only does it boast a strategic location that acts as a gateway to the Balkans and other lucrative European and Middle Eastern markets, but it also operates under a competitive tax environment with a standard corporate tax rate of just 16%.
That being said, finding a suitable location to extend your operations to is only half the battle. The next step is ensuring compliance. At Leap29, we pride ourselves on specialising in first-class EOR (Employer of Record) and PEO (Professional Employer Organisation) services, international workforce management and global recruitment. With over 25 years of experience in all of the above, our expert team guarantees a smooth, compliant and hassle-free expansion process – so you’ll never have to worry about single-handedly managing payroll, HR duties, tax obligations or employment contracts again!
As your PEO partner, Leap29 will lead you through the process of creating compliant employment contracts for your Romanian personnel. Employment contracts in Romania need to comply with local Labour Law and any relevant Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) – our specialist team will ensure that we gather all the information required to satisfy local requirements. Not only can we assist you with producing compliant employment contracts, but we can also register your employees with the authorities in a timely manner, ready for their onboarding and induction.

Romania Expansion Advice
What does a Romanian employment contract include?
In Romania, employment contracts must include the following information:
- The identity of the parties, i.e. the employer and employee.
- The place of work – if this is not a singular/fixed location, details of how the employer will ensure transportation for the employee to and from the different locations where their work will be performed must be provided.
- The headquarters or domicile of the employer.
- The position/occupation in accordance with the Romanian Classification of Occupations or other regulatory job documents, as well as the job description.
- The professional activity evaluation criteria applied by the employer and any job-specific risks.
- The employment start date and the contract expiration date (in the case of a limited-duration or temporary employment).
- The annual entitlement to paid holiday leave.
- The length and conditions of the notice and probationary periods (including dismissal and resignation processes).
- The remuneration and its components, i.e. bonuses, the method of payment and the payment frequency.
- Working hours, expressed in hours per day and hours per week. This should also include the conditions under which overtime must be compensated.
- Reference to the collective governing agreement.
- The procedure of usage of the electronic signature.
- The rights and conditions under which professional training is provided to the employee.
- Other non-mandatory benefits, e.g. medical insurance, private pension contributions, etc.
What types of employment contracts are there in Romania?
Romanian employment contracts can be fixed-term up to a maximum of 36 months (which can be renewed twice) or indefinite/open-ended. Both types of employment contracts are usually governed by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (regulated by Law 367/2022).
The Collective Bargaining Agreement outlines the terms of employment and the employee’s rights. These will often cover a range of conditions, including wages, working hours and employee benefits.
According to the Romanian Labour Code (Law no. 53/2003), all employment contracts must be concluded in writing, in the Romanian language and on the basis of both parties’ consent (employer and employee).
Can I change an employment contract?
Yes, you can change a Romanian employment contract, as long as both the employer and employee have mutually agreed on the change. This is usually documented in a written addendum or amendment to the original contract.
Additionally, unilateral changes by the employer are limited to specific circumstances outlined in the Romanian Labour Code.
Why use a PEO partner to manage Romanian employment contracts?
The last thing any expanding corporation wants is costly fines or serious penalties for non-compliance getting in the way of their international prospects. That’s why the best choice you can make for your business is partnering with a global PEO company.
