As of January 1st next year, traditional physical records of employment will be replaced by databases to which employers will have access via a username and a password. The measure is provided for in the current Labour Code and this is not the first time one seeks to implement it, with the previous deadline being the beginning of 2009.
"There are two steps involved: the first one is to introduce the information in the employment records, and the second one is to scan employment records so they can be returned to employees. One thing is certain: classical employment records will disappear," says Eugen Tifin, spokesman of Labour Inspection. All information on length of service, pension rights and on each employee's professional trajectory will be electronically recorded with pension houses and with territorial labour inspectorates. At present, there are two places where employees' records can be found: at the headquarters of the employer and at the territorial labour inspectorate (ITM).
