Parents can benefit from 4 days per month of working from home or teleworking.

Law no. 241/2023 for the amendment and completion of Law no. 53/2003 („Law 241/2023”) was published in the Romanian Official Gazette no. 673 of July 21, 2023 and entered into force on July 24, 2023.

Parents with children in care up to the age of 11 will be able to benefit, upon request, from 4 days per month of working from home or teleworking, under the conditions of Law no. 81/2018 on the regulation of teleworking („Law 81/2018”).

As a derogation from Law 81/2018, this category of employees will be required to dispose of all the means necessary to perform their duties according to their job description.

To benefit from this right, the employees will need to submit a request to their employer and the employer will have the obligation to approve such a request, if the nature or type of work performed by the employee is compatible with working from home or teleworking.

Only one parent can benefit from this right, thus being necessary for the other parent or legal representative to submit a statement declaring that, for the same period as the one requested by the employee, it did not benefit from these rights.
