President Klaus Iohannis promulgated on Monday a law that introduces new rights for private sector employees and civil servants, according to Agerpres. The law amends and supplements the Labour Code and the Administrative Code, and new rights for employees include paternity leave and leave to care for a relative or a person living in the same household.
The law also stipulates that civil servants can work on teleworking.
The Act amends and supplements Law No 53/2003 and Government Emergency Ordinance No 57/2019 in order to transpose several European directives into national law.
According to the new provisions, the employee has the right to apply for a transfer to a vacant post offering more favourable working conditions if he has completed his probationary period and has at least six months’ seniority with the same employer. The employer is obliged to respond to the request in writing, giving reasons, within 30 days of receiving it, Agerpres reports.
The law also stipulates that the employer is obliged to grant carer’s leave for a period of five working days in a calendar year, at the employee’s written request, in order to provide personal care or support to a relative or a person living in the same household who needs care or support due to a serious medical condition.
