The recent legislative amendments brought to the Romanian Labour Code continue to sustain the European and national policies implemented during the last years, in view of encouraging and improving work-life balance.
As of 24 July 2023, there are in force certain additional provisions regarding work from home/tele-working of employees that are providing for minors up to the age of 11.
According to Law 241/2023 amending Law 53/2003 on the Labour Code (hereinafter “Law 241/2023”), employees who provide for children up to 11 years of age shall have the benefit, upon request, of 4 days per month of work from home or under tele-working regulations, except when the nature or the type of work does not allow for the carrying out of such activity under such conditions.
In addition, such an employee should have at his/her own disposal all the means that are necessary for carrying out his/her duties under his/her job description during such period of work-from-home/tele-working.
