EOR · RON (lei)

Employer of Record in Romania

Romania offers a compelling mix of engineering skills, IT expertise and competitive employment costs for companies building European teams. The opportunity depends on getting the basics right: a locally compliant contract, REGES-ONLINE reporting, payroll and the worker's right to work. xpath.global coordinates these steps with the eligible Romanian employing entity, assessing any non-EU authorisation requirements before confirming the hiring route.

Why hire in Romania through an EOR

Romania combines a well-trained technical workforce with competitive employment costs relative to many Western European markets, making it a natural nearshoring choice. Its strength is the depth of talent and cost base — supported by well-managed contracts, payroll and employment reporting, rather than sector-specific salary tax subsidies.

Employment law essentials in Romania

Probation periods run up to 90 calendar days for standard roles, extending to 120 days for management positions. Statutory minimum annual leave is 20 working days. For dismissals where statutory notice applies, the minimum is 20 working days. Since January 2026, employment contracts and relevant lifecycle changes must be electronically recorded and reported through REGES-ONLINE within the legally required deadlines.

Build your team without entity setup for eligible EOR hires — with local employment administration and cross-border risks actively managed.

01
Step 01
Select your candidate
Identify the person you want to hire — anywhere across Europe. We support hiring in 20+ European countries, whether it's a new recruit, a converted contractor or an internal transfer.
02
Step 02
Immigration & relocation readiness
Before confirming the hire, we assess the worker's status, role, local employing entity and any sponsor or labour-leasing requirements.

Step 03
Employment setup through xpath.global
Once eligibility and any required approvals are confirmed, xpath.global coordinates the locally compliant contract and onboarding with the eligible in-country employing entity — without requiring you to incorporate for that EOR arrangement.
04
Step 04
Payroll, taxes and benefits administration
We run payroll coordination, income tax, social security and statutory benefits in line with each country's labour law — plus supplementary benefits (private health, pension, equity) when your policy calls for them.

Step 05
Ongoing employment and HR support
xpath.global coordinates contract updates, leave, expenses, payroll and offboarding with the employing entity. Your team directs work within the agreed lawful arrangement, with employer and any sponsor responsibilities clearly allocated.

Payroll, tax & immigration in Romania

Romanian salary payroll generally applies a standard 10% income-tax rate, subject to applicable tax legislation, alongside normal pension, health and work insurance contributions. EU/EEA nationals have free movement. For a non-EU hire, we assess the employing entity, role, worker's status and applicable authorisation requirements, including quota rules where relevant, before coordinating any work and residence permit process.

How xpath.global's EOR works in Romania

Your case owner coordinates the employment contract and legally required REGES-ONLINE recording and reporting with the Romanian employing entity, then manages payroll and statutory contributions. If a non-EU hire needs authorisation, our immigration specialists assess eligibility under current rules before confirming an EOR and work-permit route and coordinating the relevant applications.

FAQs — Employer of Record in Romania

What income-tax rate applies to Romanian salary payroll?+

The standard salary income-tax rate is 10%, subject to applicable tax legislation and normal payroll contributions. xpath.global coordinates the correct withholding and statutory contributions with the Romanian employing entity.

What is REGES-ONLINE and why does it matter?+

REGES-ONLINE is Romania's electronic employee register and the required reporting system since January 2026. Employment contracts and relevant lifecycle changes must be recorded and reported within the statutory deadlines. Your case owner coordinates these obligations with the employing entity.

Can EOR support a non-EU hire in Romania?+

Where the worker, role and employing arrangement meet current authorisation rules. We assess the actual employer's eligibility, any applicable quota and the work and residence requirements before confirming a route; EOR alone does not guarantee permission to hire a new non-EU worker.

Forward look

Romania's technical talent and competitive employment costs keep it high on the European hiring shortlist. Accurate payroll and timely REGES-ONLINE reporting underpin a sustainable employment programme.
