Common questions
- Which terms must an employment contract in Moldova contain?
- Those in art. 49 of the Moldovan Labour Code: the parties, the term and start date, the position and duties, the risks of the job, each party's rights and duties, pay with its supplements and how often it is paid, compensation, place and hours of work, probation, training, annual leave, notice periods, and social and health insurance. The free model contract is in the national collective agreement no. 4 of 25 July 2005; this contract writes them all out.
- How long can probation last when someone is hired in Moldova?
- At most six months, and for unskilled workers, as an exception, at most 30 calendar days (art. 60 of the Moldovan Labour Code). Probation exists only if the contract states it; sick leave and other justified absences do not count towards it, and a contract can set only one probation period. If you leave the box empty, the clause does not appear.
- Can the salary in a Moldovan employment contract be below the minimum wage?
- No. The national minimum wage set by the Government is 6,300 lei a month from 1 January 2026, for full-time work; part-time pay is reckoned in proportion. The figure changes from year to year (it was 5,500 lei in 2025), which is why the contract refers to the minimum set by the Government rather than to a sum. The salary is written in lei, in figures and in words.

Related documents
- 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.
- Agreement to end an employment contract (Moldova)
The agreement by which an employer and an employee in Moldova end an employment contract by mutual consent, on the date they choose, without notice (art. 82¹ of the Moldovan Labour Code). It fixes the last working day, payment of every sum due on the day of release, including compensation for untaken leave (art. 143), the documents the employee receives and, optionally, an agreed payment in lei, in figures and in words. Both parties sign it, in two copies.
- 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.
- 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. Leave is at least 28 calendar days, public holidays not counted (art. 113 of the Moldovan Labour Code); it can be split on written request if one part is at least 14 calendar days, and holiday pay is due at least three calendar days before the leave starts (art. 117). It is handed to the employer for registration.
- Unpaid leave request (Moldova)
The request by which an employee in Moldova asks the employer for leave without pay, for the dates and the reason given. The Moldovan Labour Code allows unpaid leave of up to 120 calendar days, for family or other good reasons, on the employee's written request and with the employer's consent (art. 120). It is handed to the employer for registration, and the leave is granted by order.
- 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.
