It has long been the case that Romanian companies with EU national assignees (i.e. remaining on home payroll, outside Romania) are required to notify the labour authorities of the assignment.

However, in recent months, the Romanian authorities have become increasingly strict regarding this requirement, making on-site labour inspections and levying penalties where companies are found not to have carried out the notification. In addition, the authorities are asking for a higher level of detail for notifications than was previously the case. Emigra would therefore like to take this opportunity to remind their clients that notification is required for all EU nationals and, in fact, even for Romanian nationals, who are assigned to Romania but remain on home payroll outside Romania.

Notifications must be completed within the week prior to the assignment start date – i.e. up to five working days before the assignment begins. Submitting notifications after the assignment has already begun is a contravention of regulations and may result in significant financial penalties.

Notifications are valid for the duration of the assignment. If the assignment is extended, the notification must also be extended – again within the five working days prior to the beginning of the extension period.

Note that notifications are not required for EU nationals who are employed in Romania and move on to Romanian payroll. For these individuals, the employment contract must be registered.

What is WWOOF?

WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) offers people the chance to volunteer on organic farms.
Volunteers (Wwoofers) provide labor to Host farms in exchange for food, accommodations, and the unique experience of living and working in the countryside.
Wwoofers benefit from the experience through the process of cultural exchange, as well as being able to discuss and learn about organic agriculture and the organic movement.
WWOOF host farms benefit through the help they receive from volunteers.

For more information on WWOOF in general, about it’s values, practices and history, please see the international website at www.wwoofinternational.org and www.wwoof.org.
