As per decree 378/2016 amended article 6 of decree 842/2015 regarding transferring workers from one employer to another

The employee can transfer his residency from his employer after three years of the date of issue of his work permit without the approval of his employer

Plus, the employee is obliged to give his employer the legal notice period according to article 44 of law No 6/2010.

However, if the employee is unable to give the employer the required notice, he can submit a complaint at the Labor Relations Department to inform the employer. The submission date of this complaint is considered the beginning of the notice period. The employer is not allowed to file an absconding report against the absent employee during this period.
