Common questions
- How long is paternity leave in Moldova, and by when must it be requested?
- Up to 15 calendar days for each newborn child, so with twins the right counts for each child (art. 124¹ of the Moldovan Labour Code, as amended by Law no. 156/2025, in force from 1 July 2025). The father requests it in writing within 12 months of the birth, with a copy of the birth certificate; he may also take it in three parts of 5 days within those 12 months. The paternity allowance is paid from the state social insurance budget, on the conditions the law sets.
- Who can take partially paid childcare leave in Moldova until the child is three?
- After maternity leave, partially paid leave until the child turns three is granted on written request to one of the parents, a grandparent, another relative actually caring for the child, or the guardian (art. 124 of the Moldovan Labour Code). The allowance is paid from the state social insurance budget, through the National Social Insurance House (CNAS).
- How is a childcare or paternity leave request handed in, and with what?
- The request is made in writing with a copy of the child's birth certificate; fill in only the part for the leave you want, and the other does not appear. Hand two copies to the employer and ask for the registration number and date to be written on yours; if it is not registered, send it through Poșta Moldovei by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The leave is granted by the employer's order.

- Resignation letter (Moldova)
The written request by which an employee in Moldova resigns, under the Moldovan Labour Code. A resignation needs neither the employer's consent nor a reason: notice is 14 calendar days, counted from the day after the request is registered, or one month for the head of the unit, the deputies and the chief accountant (art. 85). The letter can also propose ending earlier by written agreement. It is handed in for registration or sent by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt.
- Fixed-term employment contract (Moldova)
The fixed-term employment contract between an employer and an employee in Moldova, with the same art. 49 terms as an open-ended one and what sets it apart: the date or event on which it ends, within five years of the start (art. 54 of the Moldovan Labour Code), the ground from the closed list of art. 55 — such as replacing an absent employee, seasonal work or a specific task — and the shorter probation of art. 61. It is signed in two copies, one for each party.
- Demand to an employer for unpaid wages (Moldova)
The written demand by which an employee or former employee asks an employer in Moldova for wages and other sums not paid on time, month by month, by a set date. It cites the extra 0.3% a day the Moldovan Labour Code adds when the delay is the employer's fault (art. 330) and the three years a court claim has (art. 355). It is handed in for registration or sent by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt, and proves that payment was asked for before a petition to the State Labour Inspectorate.
- Complaint to the State Labour Inspectorate (Moldova)
The petition by which an employee or former employee reports an employer's breaches to Moldova's State Labour Inspectorate — unpaid wages, work without a written contract, overtime, refused leave, safety at work — and asks for an inspection and a written answer. It carries what the Administrative Code requires: the petitioner's name and address, the object and reasons, and a signature; an anonymous petition is not examined. The free route is the lucrezlegal.md platform; on paper it is handed in or sent by registered post, and by e-mail only with a qualified electronic signature.
