Signing a job contract Signing a job contract is one of the essential conditions to avoid being exploited by work. Â As a foreign citizen legally residing in Romania, you need to know that you have both rights and obligations. Â Your work visa gives you the right to stay during the period of the employment contract. You are entitled to a work schedule that includes two days of rest. If you work 12 hour shifts, you get 24 hours of rest until your next shift. Â For your work you must be paid monthly, preferably in your personal bank account. Â Your salary can only be withheld in cases of disciplinary breach, a fact of which you must be informed through a written document.
