APPLYING THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUAL TREATMENT BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN AT THE TERMINATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. NORMATIVE REGULATION AND CONSTITUTIONALITY IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Women and men must be treated equally regarding labor relations, including termination of the employment contract. One case of termination of the contract regulated by the national legislature is the situation where the employee cumulatively fulfills a minimum contribution period and the standard age set by law in order to benefit from a retirement pension. In Romania, however, the standard age is different for men and women. In those circumstances, it was for the Constitutional Court to analyze how the legal provisions respect the principle of non-discrimination between women and men in the event of termination of the individual employment contract.
