Female employees in Moldova can take 70 days of paid maternal leave prior to giving birth and 56 days after, for a total of 126 days. Additionally, employees can generally take extra leave for childcare until their child turns three, but the specific entitlements vary. Mothers of more than two children under 14 are also able to take four extra days of paid annual vacation leave.
Other relatives (such as fathers) who have childcare responsibilities for young children can generally take an allowance of extra leave with partial compensation.
Employees in Moldova are generally entitled to between one and two months of notice prior to termination and can take one day per week to search for new employment.
Employees are usually entitled to a severance payment of one week of pay per year of service with an employer. When terminated for proper cause, they are usually entitled to a reduced severance payment of two weeks of pay.

Hire borderless talent with Horizons
With Horizons, you get quick service, transparent pricing, and expert support.
A Moldova PEO and a Moldova EOR are two types of companies which specialize in providing human resources services to businesses in Moldova.
The main difference between a Moldova PEO and a Moldova EOR is in the scope of their services.
Moldova PEOs provide a full range of HR services, including payroll, benefits administration, and employee recruiting—all under one roof as a co-employer. Engaging a Moldova PEO is essentially outsourcing your HR duties in Moldova.
Moldova EORs actually take over as the legal employer of your employees based abroad. Moldova EORs become responsible for labor compliance for your employees in Moldova.
At Horizons, we offer both PEO and EOR services in Moldova. Get in touch now and let us know what service you are seeking.
In most cases, Horizons’ Moldova PEO can hire & onboard your employee within 24 hours. The actual start date of the employee will depend on their notice period obligation to their previous employer as well as any relevant hiring rules in Moldova.
It is possible to get a work visa in Moldova. Horizons’ Global Mobility team is a dedicated team of work visa experts. They assess the details of each case to determine feasibility and costs before Horizons applies for the work visa on behalf of your employee. If the Global Mobility team determines that your case is feasible, the process is smooth and transparent. Visa spots in Moldova are limited, however—get started today to secure your employees’ visa spot.
