When is the employment contract registered in REGES-ONLINE?
Quick answer
- The individual employment contract is submitted in REGES-ONLINE at the latest the day before work starts.
- Therefore, the employee cannot start work before the contract data is already in the registry.
- Changes to contract elements (such as salary) are submitted within at most 20 working days.
- Contract termination is registered on that day or at the latest the working day before the termination date.
- The deadlines apply whether the submission is made by the employer or an authorised agent.
What the law says
- The contract is registered in REGES at the latest the working day before work begins.
- Changes to contract data are submitted within at most 20 working days of when they occur.
- Contract termination is submitted on the termination day or at the latest the working day before.
- Failing to meet the submission deadlines is an offence sanctioned under labour legislation.
Practical examples
- Example: for an employee starting work on Monday, the contract must be submitted in REGES at the latest on Sunday (the day before).
- Example: if the salary rises from 1 March, the change must be submitted in REGES within at most 20 working days.
- Example: for a resignation with Friday as the last day, termination is registered on Friday or at the latest Thursday.
Common mistakes
- Submitting the contract after the employee has already started work.
- Forgetting to update the salary or role in REGES within the 20-working-day deadline.
- Confusing calendar days with working days when computing the deadlines.
- Registering the termination late, after the effective termination date.
