Romanian Labor Code distinguishes between 2 legal institutions on what matters the posting of
workers:
A. Delegation
Article 43 of Romanian Labor Code defines the Delegation as being the temporary exercise by
the Employee at the request of Employer of works or tasks according to his normal work
obligations outside the usual working place.
According to the Article 44 the delegation will be decided by the Employer for a period of
maximum 60 days within a 12 months period and can be extended with the acceptance of the
Employee for another 60 days period maximum.
So for the initial period of 6o days of Delegation the acceptance of Employee is not required.
The delegated worker is not changing his working place, it is only mandated for a limited period
of time to fulfill some tasks for the Employer on another place.
Analyzing the provisions of the Law and with the case in study, it is clear that MPRS will
Nevertheless, due to the fact that MPRS will have to post the workers in Switzerland for up to 90
days, we advise for the following:

2. A1 Forms:
REGULATION (EC) No 883/2004 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems provides the frame for issuing an
using of the A1 Form (the Portable Document A1).
The A1 form is not a prerequisite for posting the workers abroad but it is a form to be presented
to the authorities Member State were the worker is posted in order to prove that the
contributions due to the social system for the posted worker are paid in the Member State of
origin of the Employer.
According to the Romanian Law, the A1 Form is only requested for the Temporary Transfer of
the Employee. In case of Delegation, the Employee will not request A1 Form. The employer will
pay all contributions due to social security system in Romania. As previously explained the
Delegation is possible only for short period of maximum 120 day in a year (an initial 60 days
Delegation + a second 60 days period, extendable only with the written agreement of
Employee).
At this point, it will be prudent for MPRS to establish together with the Swiss client if in
Switzerland the A1 Form will be required as mandatory in order to obtain working permits
for the MPRS workers.

a) the recipient is present in the other State for a period or periods not exceeding in the
aggregate 183 days in any twelve month period commencing or ending in the fiscal year
concerned, and
b) the remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of the other
State, and
c) the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment which the employer has in the
other State.
In our case MPRS will not have a permanent establishment in Switzerland, but will only provide
services to a contractual partner residing in Switzerland, the payment of the salary will be done
by the Romanian company and the workers will be delegated (posted abroad) only for maximum
90 days.

Daily Subsistence Allowance (Diurna) to be paid per each day of Delegation. The
Romanian law provides minimum and maximum limits for Subsistence Allowance to
be paid and to be completely deductible. The minimum limit is for Delegation in
Switzerland 38 / day and the maximum of Allowance in order to be deductible will
be of 2.5 * the minimum, so of 95 / day. If the amount paid as Allowance is superior
to the maximum limit, the difference between the maximum and the Allowance
actually paid will be considered as salary income and will be taxed accordingly.

permitted by the Law it is not considered salary income. Please check if the
Swiss legislation allows considering the Allowance as part of the BruttoWage

the Employer to Employee for the period the Employee will work in
Switzerland.
