Internal Regulation Policy in Romania

Labor lawyer in Romania. Employee rights in Romania

An internal regulation policy in Romania is an essential document within any company that establishes the norms and procedures that must be followed by the employees in Romania in order to ensure compliant activity. Although employee rights in Romania must also be included in each individual employment contract in Romania, an internal regulation policy drafted in accordance with the Romanian labor code, covering employee rights in Romania, codes of conduct, discipline, or sanctions applicable for the violation of employee rights, ensures the maintenance of a disciplined and efficient working environment.

The document that sets forth certain internal regulation rules is created by the employer in Romania, with the consultation of the union or employee representatives, as applicable. An internal regulation policy is mandatory for all companies to draft, except for micro-enterprises.

Essentially, an internal regulation policy is a legal document, similar to an individual employment contract in Romania, which is why it is recommended to seek employment law consultation in Romania from a labor law lawyer in Romania to ensure that the document complies with all specific regulations and covers all essential aspects for the efficient conduct of activities within the company.

According to employment law in Romania, any employer in Romania has 60 days from the date of acquiring legal personality to establish the set of internal regulations and to draft the document, which must then be communicated to each employee.

Labor lawyer in Romania. What an internal regulation policy in Romania should contain?

When an employer in Romania drafts an internal regulation policy in Romania, they must pay attention to several aspects, the most important of which are also mentioned in the Romanian labor code. Thus, the content of the internal regulation policy must include rules regarding protection, hygiene, and workplace safety within the company, rules on respecting the principle of non-discrimination and the elimination of any form of violation of dignity, the obligations and rights of the employee in Romania, the procedure for resolving individual employee requests or complaints, specific rules on workplace discipline within the company, disciplinary violations, and applicable sanctions both in the case of the employee’s breach of norms and in the event of a violation of employee rights. Additionally, it should contain rules regarding the disciplinary procedure, methods of applying other legal or contractual provisions, as well as criteria and procedures for the professional evaluation of employees.

As a general framework applicable to all individuals who hold the status of employee in Romania within a company, the internal regulation policy may also contain, beyond the aforementioned aspects, conditions for applying specific clauses from an individual employment contract in Romania or a collective employment contract.

The Romanian law firm Pavel, Mărgărit & Associates recommends consulting a labor lawyer in Romania or a employment attorney in Romania to assist you in the process of drafting and reviewing the internal regulation policy, as these rules must be clear and fair, easily implementable for both the employee in Romania and the employer in Romania, and must also comply with all legal norms primarily included in the Romanian labor code and other relevant legislative acts.

Employment attorney in Romania. Informing the employee in Romania

Since this is a document that directly concerns the employee in Romania, they must be informed about all the provisions included in the internal regulation policy in Romania. Therefore, the employer in Romania is obligated to bring the internal regulation policy to the attention of each employee in Romania on the first day the employee obtains the right to work within the company and to provide proof that this obligation has been fulfilled. The document must be accessible to every employee at any time and can take effect from the moment it is acknowledged by the employees. Moreover, the internal regulation policy in Romania must be displayed at the employer’s premises. The Romanian labor code includes fairly complex regulations, and disputes arising from labor conflicts are increasingly common, often caused by disciplinary violations by the employee or violation of employee rights, which are not clearly regulated by a legal document. In this context, the Romanian law firm Pavel, Mărgărit & Associates recommends seeking employment law consultation in Romania from a labor law lawyer in Romania or an employment attorney in Romania to assist in drafting the internal regulation policy, aiming to reduce legal risks and protect the rights of both parties.
