Labour law specialist, FACIAS collaborator, lawyer Costel Gîlcă provides all those interested with the "Guide to employment contracts during the State of Emergency". In a context where tens of thousands of employers are in a legal situation that generates changes in employment relations, a Guide to Employment Relations is more than welcome to put together the legislative news and to be able to act quickly.
In support of all employers and not only, the lawyer Costel Gîlcă, collaborator of The Foundation For The Defense Of Citizens Against State Abuses, has written a "Guide to employment contracts during the State of Emergency". The guide contains details on how home working or teleworking is regulated, the conditions for suspending an individual employment contract due to force majeure, childcare leave and other situations facing the labour market these days.
"Not only are we facing the risk of illness or death from a virus, but we already have the first signs of a major economic crisis. The COVID-19 outbreak has required changes in working relationships to adapt to the new circumstances. In view of the importance of these changes, we felt that a guide to the individual employment contract during the State of Emergency was necessary for an overview. In the entire history of labour relations in Romania, there has never been a situation that can be compared to the current moment in labour relations. The COVID-19 virus has not only sickened people but also businesses, it has not only killed people but also jobs. Under these conditions, with a severe quarantine, the declaration of a State of Emergency, the issuing of two military orders suspending commercial activities, with the consequence of suspending hundreds of thousands of individual employment contracts, it was necessary to adopt measures in the field of labour relations. In this guide we want to outline these changes in labour relations during the COVID-19 epidemic, to help all those concerned," says Av. Costel Gîlcă, specialist in labour law and social security law.
The guide is produced in collaboration with adv. Bianca Mircea, specialized in commercial law and can be downloaded here.
