Labor law represents a branch of the law system comprising the
entirety of juridical principles that regulate individual and collective labor
relations, the union and employer organizations attributions, labor conflicts and the
control of labor legislation implementation. Labor law is a body of juridical norms with
a distinct object to regulate – social labor relations between those who use the work
force – employers – and those that provide the work – workers / employees. The main
normative acts that regulate these juridical relations in Romania are the Labor Code,
Social Dialogue Law (no. 62/2011), HG nr. 500/2011 regarding the general register of
employees and also the multitude of normative acts regulating the protection of Romanian
citizens working abroad, the situation of the temporary employee, sending workers within
trans-national providing services, admission to employment and sending foreigners in
Romania, work placement abroad, day laborers situations, etc.
The juridical principles that regulate health and work safety can be included in the same
category, as stated by Law no. 319/2006R, HG no. 1425/2006 modified and completed, as
well as around 20 Government decisions that transposed within the national legislation
the content of Directive 89/391/CEE or those regarding the maternity protection at the
work place and regulations concerning workers protection in case of extreme
temperatures, etc.
The social security law contains juridical norms that regulate social security relations
and also social assistance. Through this legal institution, the individual is protected
by social risks threatening his/her existence. Protection often starts before birth
(pre-birth care) and continues after death (survivorship pensions). The most important
regulations activate within the pension system (see Law no. 263/2010), unemployment
insurance system (Law no. 76/2002) or those from the health insurance system (OUG no.
158/2005).
