Find out how Remote can guide you through the complexities of managing cross-border hiring, payroll, taxes, and compliance.

Employing in Romania

To employ in Romania, companies must own a local legal entity or work with a global partner. Managing the tricky tasks related to HR and compliance in Romania can get complicated fast, especially if you try to keep this internal without any established local relationships.

Remote’s global employment solution makes it easy for your company to employ workers in Romania and stay compliant with all relevant labour laws. Our team of HR and legal experts takes on the responsibilities involved with international employment so you can focus on hiring top talent and growing your business.

Minimum Wage

Effective January 1 2025, the minimum wage in Romania will be RON 4050 per month.

Payroll Cycle

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly instalments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Romania fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 4 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.
