Nothing here is sent for you. This page writes the letter; you still have to send it. Nothing you type leaves your phone. If your passport is being held, or you are being threatened or stopped from leaving, a letter is the wrong tool — call 112, and see Which Door.
For people working in Romania on a permit · 10 minutes
They answer in Romanian. So write in Romanian — even if you do not speak it.
The Labour Inspectorate publishes no English-language phone line and no English form. Writing gets around that in a way that calling does not: a letter can be prepared, checked, and kept as proof. Fill this in and it produces the Romanian text, with an English version beside it so you know exactly what you are sending.
Put your name and address on it. Romanian law says a complaint that is anonymous, or that leaves out your identifying details, is filed without being examined. The only exception is harassment. This is a real cost when your employer also houses you — but for everything except harassment, it is the difference between a complaint and a piece of paper.
Your letter
Fill in your name, your address and the county, and tick at least one thing that happened.
After you send it
Send it so you can prove you sent it
E-mail to the county office’s address gives you a sent copy. Post gives you more: send it recomandată cu confirmare de primire (registered, with acknowledgement of receipt) and you hold proof it arrived. Whichever you choose, keep a copy of what you sent.
Sign it
Print it and sign it by hand if you can. If you are sending it by e-mail, attach a photo or scan of the signed page rather than only pasting text.
Gather what supports it before you send
Your contract, payslips, and bank statements. Since 2026 wages must be paid by bank transfer, so your bank record is evidence of what did and did not arrive. You do not need to attach everything — but say in the letter that you have it.
Read the Romanian before you send it. This page assembles standard sentences from what you ticked; it cannot check whether they are true of your situation, and you are the one signing it. If something does not match what happened, change it or take it out.
