Common questions
- How long can unpaid leave last in Moldova?
- Up to 120 calendar days, for family or other good reasons (art. 120 of the Moldovan Labour Code). It is requested in writing and granted only with the employer's consent, by order: until the order is issued, do not stay away from work. The request gives the reason and the dates, so that the employer can decide.
- Does unpaid leave in Moldova reduce annual leave?
- It can. Unpaid leave of more than 14 calendar days is not counted in the service that earns annual leave (art. 114 of the Moldovan Labour Code). Shorter unpaid leave has no such effect. Bear this in mind when choosing the length.
- What unpaid time off can a Moldovan employee take to care for a sick person at home?
- Besides unpaid leave under art. 120, the Moldovan Labour Code gives unpaid leave of up to five working days a year to care for a person living in the employee's home (art. 123¹). It is requested in writing, with a copy of that person's identity document, your own declaration that they live with you, and the medical opinion issued for them.

- Annual leave request (Moldova)
The request by which an employee in Moldova asks for paid annual leave for the dates chosen, under the leave schedule or outside it with the employer's agreement.

It is handed to the employer for registration.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
