II. Interior regulation – special part
The obligation of elaborating the Interior Regulation, according to the Labour Code, belongs to the employer, after having consulted the union or the representatives of the employees, is brought to the knowledge of the employees by its care and produces effects starting with the information of the employees, having the obligation to display it at the registered office.
Therefore, the obligation of informing the employees with regard to the contents of the interior regulation must be accomplished by the employer.
The interior regulation must contain at least the following categories of dispositions:
a) rules regarding the protection, hygiene and safety at work within the unit;
b) rules regarding the observance of the principle of non-discrimination and of removal of any forma of dignity violation;
c) the employer’s and the employees’ rights and obligations;
d) procedure for the settlement of the employees’ requests or individual complaints;
e) actual rules regarding the work discipline in the unit;
f) misconducts and applicable penalties;
g) rules regarding the disciplinary procedure ;
h) modalities of applying other legal or contractual specific dispositions;
i) criteria and procedures of professional evaluation of the employees.
As a consequence of the provisions from letter h) above, as well as of the special provisions regarding the gambling regulation, the gambling organizers must elaborate, in view of authorizing their activity, the special part of the Interior Regulation, with a contents specific to the type of gambling for which the authorization is requested.
In this respect, the Methodological Norms for the application of the gambling legislation, define the Interior Regulation – special part, as: the assembly of norms, rules and procedures applicable in the gambling organizer’s activity, where there are provided the individual responsibilities and skills of the employees involved in the performance of the specific gambling activities.
It is also provided here that the Interior regulation will be structured in two parts, a general part where there will be mentioned the binding provisions in accordance with the labor legislation and a special part, where will be mentioned the individual responsibilities and skills of the employees directly involved in the gambling activity.
This special part is subject to the approval of the Supervisory Committee of ONJN. Any amendment of the special part of the interior regulation will be approved by the Supervisory Committee.
In the interior regulation – special part – regarding the organization and performance of the activity – will be mentioned in detail: the staff’s tasks and attributions, the financial-accounting evidence system, the means of assuring the security of the documents, of the values as well as the location of the server.
From the contents of the Interior regulation – special part, cannot miss, in my opinion, the modality of putting in practice the special and general legal provisions, with a synthetic reference to:

– the functions of the persons responsible with putting at the gambler’s disposal of the equipments intended for the respective game;
