This is the second major change affecting employees this year, after the scrapping of employment record books as of January 1st. HR staff will have to feed the data about each employee manually once again into a new electronic system, because they cannot import data from the first electronic register. It is as if someone with 500 contacts in their phone agenda would have to feed them manually into their new phone.
“Recently, the IT system has been revised, and the new version of the ‘Revisal’ (Revisal 5.0.6. i.e.) is an updated one. The employers have a new application available, in which they have to input data on each employee by the end of October, irrespective of whether they are working based on an existing employment contract or if they have just been hired,” says Eugen Tifin, spokesman within the Work Inspection Department.
Companies have five more weeks to go to work inspection department offices, ask for a password allowing them access to the electronic system in which they will introduce data on the wages, perks and professional experience of all employees.
The refusal to make the electronic register (and the employees’ personal records) available to the work inspector, as well as the failure to send the register within 90 days from the enforcement of the Government decision is subject to fines of between 5,000 lei and RON8,000 (EUR1,200 – 1,900).
“Employers have a new electronic system available and they have to feed employee data into the new version or else be penalized. It will all be sent by e-mail, except the password that the company needs to get from their respective Work Inspectorate office in order to access the system,” Tifin added.
