Romania: Discrimination, Disability & Sexual Harassment

Romania's legislative process for transposing the EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces comprehensive obligations for employers to establish equal pay systems, disclose salary information during recruitment, and report gender pay gaps. These new requirements transform pay transparency from a compliance checkbox into a critical risk management tool, as workers gain enhanced rights to information and compensation for pay discrimination.

The Romanian government's guidelines on how to implement the equal opportunity law entered into force on May 2. Government Decision no. 262/2019 ("Law 202/2002 Norms") approved the norms for applying the provisions of Law no. 202/2002 on equal opportunity and treatment of women and men.
