THE EMPLOYMENT RECORD BOOK EXPIRES AFTER A YEAR

After one year, the paper work book will finally disappear, the National Assembly adopted the changes to the Labor Code in the second reading.

For a period of up to one year, the National Revenue Agency will have to upgrade its register, and within this year workers will continue to present their paper book to employers and institutions.

An electronic register of employment maintained by the National Revenue Agency will also be created, in which all data from the employment book will be entered.

Thus, workers will have full access to their employment record, and employers will be able to automate internal processes through human resource management systems, automatically sending data to the registry.

The parents, guardians and guardians of workers and employees under the age of 18 have the right to access the relevant unified electronic labor record until the child turns 18, the deputies wrote.

The worker or employee has the right to information about the history of accesses to his unified electronic labor record, except for the cases of access by the authorities of pre-trial proceedings in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code and the State Agency for National Security.

Employers have the right to information about their employed workers and employees entered by previous employers, with the exception of the amount of wages and benefits that the worker or employee received from previous employers.

When, after June 1, 2025, the employment record is lost or destroyed, the relevant Directorate "Labor Inspection" shall issue a new one and enter data on the work experience acquired before June 1, 2025, based on a written application-declaration of the worker or employee, to which are attached certificates from the employers where he worked, as well as other original documents containing these data, the National Assembly also votes.
