Are pre-employment medical checkups required in Romania?

Yes. In Romania, a pre-employment medical checkup is mandatory for all new hires before they begin working. This requirement is outlined in Article 27 of the Romanian Labour Code and applies to all employment contracts, regardless of role or industry.

According to Romanian labor law:

  • No employee may begin work without a valid medical certificate confirming they are fit for the role.

  • The medical examination must be conducted by an authorized occupational health provider.

  • The result of the checkup must be documented and kept in the employee’s personnel file.

This rule is in place to ensure that each employee is medically capable of performing their assigned duties, and that their employment will not pose a risk to their health or safety.
