The government has approved the bill for the modification of the Labor Code and will send the document to the Parliament.

The Labor Code bill stipulates that in order to check the employee’s abilities, after the closing of the individual work contract, the employer can set a trial period of at most 90 days for execution jobs and at most 120 days for management jobs.

The document also stipulates that an individual work contract on a limited period of time can be prolonged even after the expiry of the initial term, with the written agreement of the parties, during the time necessary for carrying out a project, program or work.

On Friday, the representatives of the government and those of the trade unions analyzed the new form of the labor Code, but did not reach an agreement regarding the modifications.

The opposition announced it intends to file a no confidence vote against the government, after the government takes responsibility for the law.
