Posting Employees to Romania– When Does the Posted Workers Directive Apply?
Sending Employees to Romania – Key Requirements
When assigning employees to work in Romania, one of the first steps is to obtain an A1 certificate. This document confirms that the employee will remain under the Danish social security system throughout the assignment — ensuring continued access to benefits like parental leave, unemployment insurance, and sick pay.
Understanding the Posted Workers Directive (PWD)
As an EU member state, Romania is fully subject to the rules of the Posted Workers Directive (PWD).
If you’re posting employees to Romania, it’s important to assess whether the assignment requires PWD registration.
The PWD aims to ensure a fair balance between business mobility and employee protection by granting posted workers key employment rights in the host country.
What Are Employees Entitled to Under the PWD in Romania?
Once registered under the PWD, posted employees in Romania are entitled to:
- Minimum wage and overtime compensation according to Romanian labour laws
- Regulations on working hours, rest breaks, and weekly rest
- Paid annual leave and public holidays
