Tap into Romania’s skilled talent pool
Skilled, multilingual professionals
Tech, finance, support, you’ll find talent across every function
Cost-effective hiring
Talented workforce at lower average salaries compared to Western Europe
Ready to work
A remote-ready workforce with global experience means less training, more output
Exploring entity setup in Romania for hiring? Think again.
It’s time-consuming, costly, and comes with complex legal requirements.
Why figure out compliance on your own?
We create employment contracts, manage payroll registration, calculate and file taxes, as per the Romanian Labor Code.
Payroll would mean more than just payouts
It includes salary payments, income tax deductions, social security contributions, and health insurance, plus monthly reporting to authorities by strict deadlines.
No need to set up a legal entity
With us, we can onboard employees or contractors legally with minimal delays and risk, and help get a global team off the ground effortlessly and at speed.
3–5 days onboarding with employment contract, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment contracts
We support permanent, fixed-term, and telework agreements, drafted in Romanian and English. Fixed-term contracts can run for up to 36 months and be renewed twice, with a total maximum duration of 60 months.
Background checks
We can conduct legally compliant checks with employee consent, covering employment history, education, and references, while meeting GDPR and national data protection requirements where applicable.
Medical checks
Employment requires a pre-employment medical certificate confirming fitness to work, provided by an occupational health physician. This is supported under our solution, saving time and ensuring compliance.
Talent discovery
Need help sourcing the right talent in Romania? Our local partners can help you find pre-vetted candidates across tech, finance, healthcare, and more.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social security
These mandatory contributions cover pensions, unemployment, sickness, and parental benefits. Contributions are split as 25% from the employee and 2.25% from the employer.
Overtime & premium pay
Extra hours worked over the legal working time are compensated with paid time off or at 175% of the standard rate, and work on weekends or public holidays at 200%. Night work is paid at 125% or with additional time off. This is in line with the laws in the country.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Employment laws
Written employment contracts are mandatory in Romania, and must follow the Ministry of Labor’s standard format, including salary, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination clauses.
Worker classification
Employees work under the employer’s direction and receive regular pay with social security and health insurance contributions. Contractors operate independently, manage their own tax and insurance, and have different compliance requirements.
Working hours & overtime
Standard hours are 40 per week, up to 48 including overtime. Overtime must be compensated with paid time off or higher pay rates.
Audit-ready documentation
Payroll filings, tax declarations, and employment records must be accurate, up to date, and ready for inspections by labor authorities, which is common in Romania.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees in Romania get a minimum of 20 paid working days per year, which can be taken in parts but must include at least one uninterrupted period of 15 working days.
Sick leave
Employees get up to 5 days paid by the employer at 75% of salary; longer absences (up to 183 days, or 18 months for severe cases) are paid by the state.
Maternity Leaves
Female employees are entitled to 126 days, paid at 100% of their average income over the past 12 months, funded by the employer and recovered from the National Social Security Fund.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods
Notice periods vary depending on role and seniority. The minimum notice period as provided by law is 20 working days. The specific notice period can be agreed in the employment contract at a higher rate, which is common in Romania.
Severance
There is no statutory requirement for severance pay in Romania, although it may be provided if agreed upon in the employment contract or company policy.
