REVISAL can be accessed online by employees

According to Law 144 of 2022, which was published in the Official Gazette no. 502 of 23 May 2022 and which amends the Labor Code, the General Register of employees (REVISAL) will be accessible online at any time, for employees and former employees, without the consent of employers or of the territorial Labor Inspectorate (ITM).

The right of access is limited to viewing, downloading and printing the data about the employee’s seniority, as well as to online generation and downloading an extract from the register. The seniority in work and/or in the specialty can also be proven with the extract from the register. In order to support those who hold positions for which certain qualifications are mandatory, the level and specialty of the completed studies will also appear in REVISAL.

The measure cannot be implemented too soon

The methodology for drawing up the general register of employees, the records to be made, the conditions for the online access of employees or former employees to the data in the register, including the conditions for proof of seniority and/or in the specialty, as well as any other elements related to their preparation shall be established by Government Decision.

Within 60 days from the date of entry into force of this law, by Government Decision, on the proposal of the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity, shall be established the procedure for online access of employees or former employees to the data in the general register of employees, the way of generating and downloading the extract, as well as the conditions under which the extract can prove the seniority in work and / or in specialty.

Debureaucratization and digitalisation

These provisions greatly simplify how the employee/former employee will have online, unconditional access to the data of their own employment contract. At this time, in order to obtain an extract from REVISAL, the employees depend either on the employer or on the ITM and, regardless of the variant, the process takes 15 days from the date of application by the employee or former employee.

As a result of this law, the necessary resources in the bureaucratic procedure of obtaining the extract from the register for both employers, ITM and employees will be saved.
