There are no official subcategories of Workers in Moldova.
Fixed-term contracts are permitted in Moldova and cannot exceed five years. The Worker must be informed in written form not less than 10 working days before the expiration date of the termination of the fixed-term employment contract. If none of the parties has provided notice of termination of the fixed-term employment contract, then the contract is considered prolonged for an indefinite term.
Fixed term contracts can have a probationary period of 15 calendar days for a contract between three and six months in length or 30 calendar days for a fixed term contract greater than six months in length. For indefinite contracts, the maximum probationary period is three months (six months for officials) and cannot be renewed. A Worker may be terminated during the probationary period without notice.

Workers are entitled to not less than 28 calendar days of paid vacation after six months of continuous service. Vacation pay is due to the worker at least three days before the leave begins. If the Worker agrees in writing, then vacation can be taken in two parts, but one part cannot be less than 14 calendar days. Accrued but unused leave must be paid at termination.
Workers are entitled to five days of paid sick leave in the event of illness or injury verified by a medical certificate. After the fifth day of a nonwork related medical leave, the National Office of Social Insurance will handle calculations and payments to the Worker.
