Hiring in Moldova

Moldova’s skilled tech talent combined with its relatively low labor costs makes it an attractive country for companies expanding their European workforces. But navigating Moldova’s labor laws can be challenging. Employment relationships in Moldova are governed by laws such as the Labour Code, which outlines the rights and obligations of both employers and employees, including provisions for contract formation, modification, and termination. 

Additionally, Moldovan law regulates — and in certain cases, sets specific requirements for — the use of temporary or contract workers. Fixed-term contracts are permitted for specific tasks or periods, with a maximum duration of five years, after which they convert to indefinite-term contracts unless otherwise agreed. 

Because of the complexity of employment laws in Moldova, compliant employment contracts are an essential business need. With expert guidance, you can employ workers in Moldova with confidence, knowing that every contract meets all legal requirements. We also provide insights on local cultural norms and hiring best practices, ensuring you stay up-to-date with evolving employment regulations.

Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Moldova

An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Moldova. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with Moldova’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Moldova. 

The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
