Employees’ Claims in the Event of Employer Insolvency in Romania: A Comparative Review of National and International Regulations

This study analyses the increase in insolvency proceedings in Romania in line with the global economic crisis. It analyses their prevalence by region and by sector. It then considers the legal steps taken by Romania to protect workers in the face of widespread employer insolvency. However, as unemployment is on the rise and relatively few persons benefit from the Wage Guarantee Fund, it remains important to seek ways to mitigate the negative effects of insolvency on workers in Romania.
