What are the Rules of Organisation and Functioning?
The Organisational and Functioning Regulations are the unilateral internal act of the employer by which he establishes the organisation and functioning of the company.
It does not have its own regulation in the legislation, it is the employer’s right to organise his establishment, it is not binding.
The Organisational and Functioning Regulations contain provisions on the structure of the company, the duties of the existing departments, the functional relations between them and also on relations with the higher hierarchical structures in the unit. It contains the company’s organisation chart and its functional structure.
The Rules of Organisation and Functioning can be said to be the company’s organisational manual and consists of two sections:
The first section contains the identification data of the company, its profile and object of activity, the general organisation chart and the existing management bodies.
The second section contains details of the company’s main organisational subdivisions (departments, compartments, services and offices).
The ROF refers less to the relationship between employer and employees and more to the internal structure of the employing unit.
The ROF establishes the general structure of the unit, the working compartments (workshop, office, service, department, etc.) and their competences, the relations between them and the relations with the management of the respective legal entity, the internal circuit of documents, etc.
All this is set out in the unit’s organisation chart.
The Organisational and Functioning Regulation must be updated whenever changes occur in the company’s structure. The same working documents can be used for updating as for drafting.
The organisational structure of the legal entity consists of all persons and subdivisions organised in such a way as to ensure proper functioning and achievement of the proposed objectives.
