Enforcement of Compliance Requirements Increased for Employers of Non-EU Workers
February 23, 2015
Authorities have recently started enforcing the requirement for employers to not have been sanctioned by the Romanian Labour Authorities in the last three years for failing to register non-EU foreign employees.
Such registration, called the REVISAL, is due the day before the employee’s start date, at the latest.
Other Recently-Enforced Employer Requirements
Authorities are also enforcing the following requirements for employers hiring non-EU employees:
- The employer must perform the activity indicated in the corporate documents submitted with the foreign employee’s work permit application;
- The employer must be up to date with its state tax payments;
- The employer must not have been sentenced for Labour Code violations or intentional crimes; and
- The employer must not have exceeded the quota for foreign workers.
Employers that do not meet the above requirements may be barred from hiring non-EU employees.
What This Means for Employers
Employers hiring non-EU nationals should be aware of the increased enforcement efforts, and should work with their administrative departments to ensure compliance with employee registration and other requirements.
