A recent Law modified the contents of Article no. 56 of the Labour Code that contains the de jure situations in which the employment agreement is terminated. One of these situations is the termination of the agreement when the employee reaches the retirement age and has the minimum contribution period to benefit from pension rights. At this moment, the pension age is different for men and women. However women can choose to continue the employment until they reach the retirement age for men. The new form of the article also includes the possibility for both male and female employees to continue the employment by request for a period of 3 years after they reach the retirement age
