Reporting in revisal in Romania: What deadlines do employers have to meet?

According to the Labour Code, art. 34 (7) of law no. 53/2003, republished and updated, each employer from Romania has the obligation to instate a General Registry of Employees in electronic format, more widely known as reporting in revisal in Romania.

Revisal is currently regulated by Government Decision no. 905/2017, which replaced the rules instated by the previous one, Government Decision no. 500/2011.

The deadlines that need to be respected in 2019 can be found below.

1. Information that should be registered at the day before the changes are to be enacted, at the latest
