Employers May Keep Copies Of Individual Employment Contracts In Electronic Form, Provided They Are Concluded Using An Electronic Signature
Employers must maintain individual employment contracts at the workplace, but electronic storage is now permitted under specific conditions. The electronic copy requires more than simple scanning—it must be electronically signed and certified as a true copy by the employer's legal representative or authorized person. This requirement establishes clear standards for digital record-keeping compliance in employment documentation.

Clauzele de confidentialitate privind salariul nu vor trebui eliminate din contractele individuale de munca, insa vor trebui adaptate pentru a nu impiedica exercitarea drepturilor stabilite de Directiva (UE) 2023/970 privind transparenta salariala
The EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces new obligations for employers regarding salary disclosure and confidentiality clauses. While individual salaries won't be made public, employers must justify pay differences through objective criteria and may need to revise internal confidentiality policies. The directive limits the use of confidentiality clauses that prevent employees from discussing their own remuneration for the purpose of verifying equal pay rights.

Pentru concediile medicale prelungite pe mai multe luni, diferentele de indemnizatie rezultate din recalculare se includ in veniturile lunii in care sunt determinate
Starting July 1, 2026, Romania introduces a new calculation method for medical leave benefits that extend across multiple months. When sick leave crosses into a new month and exceeds the 7-day or 8-14 day thresholds, the resulting benefit differences will be included in the income of the month they are determined, rather than being declared retroactively.

Salary-related Confidentiality Clauses Will Not Need To Be Removed From Individual Employment Contracts, But They Will Need To Be Amended So As Not To Prevent The Exercise Of The Rights Set Out In Directive (EU) 2023/970 On Pay Transparency
The Pay Transparency Directive introduces new requirements for employers regarding pay confidentiality clauses while stopping short of mandating full disclosure of individual salaries. Employers must now prepare to justify pay differences using objective criteria and review their internal policies on pay confidentiality once the directive is transposed into national law.
