Sick leave of up to 180 days (plus potential 90-day extension) is payable to employees who belong to the pension and social insurance system. The first five days are paid by the employer, with the rest paid by social security. The amount paid ranges from 75–100% of the employee's average salary over the last six months, depending on the nature of the illness.
Paid maternity leave is set at 126 days, at least 63 of which must be taken before the due date, with the remainder after the birth. Payments amount to 85% of wages and are paid by the government.
Paid paternity leave is either five or ten days, increasing to 15 days if the employee completes a childcare course.
Termination processes vary depending on the type of contract, the reason for termination, the employment agreement, and any collective agreements in place. Contracts can be terminated by law, by the parties' mutual consent, or by either party individually if acting within the terms of the contract/law.
Employers must give 20 working days' notice if they wish to terminate an employment contract. Employees in non-management positions must give 20 working days' notice (managers must give 45 days' notice).
No severance pay is required in Romania unless it is stipulated by a collective agreement.
Probation periods are determined by the role and set out in the employment agreement. Typical probation periods are 90 days (rising to 120 for managerial positions).
