Abstract
Romania is a jurisdiction based on civil law, in which only the Constitution and other statutory legislation constitute a legitimate source of legal rules. That said, while the Romanian Constitution is the source of several employment-related “rules of thumb”, the most important piece of legislation generally regulating employment relationships is Law No. 53/2003—the Labour Code, as republished and amended (Romanian Labour Code)—supplemented by various other sources of written law, ranging across laws, government ordinances, government emergency ordinances and secondary legislation, each dealing with specific employment law matters. In addition, another noteworthy source of law consists of collective agreements, executed at industry branch or sector level.
