In Ukraine, due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, martial law has been declared and general mobilization is in effect. Men liable for military service aged 18 to 60 receive summons on the streets, checkpoints, in public places, at their place of residence and at their place of work.

Previously, the mobilized employee retained the salary and place of work. But after the signing of the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Optimization of Labor Relations”, employers no longer pay salaries to workers mobilized or drafted into the army during martial law. Now only the place of work remains behind them..

According to one of the initiators of this law, a deputy from the Servant of the People faction, Galina Tretyakova, the practice for the employer to continue to pay the salary of a serviceman after mobilization arose in 2014 and was due to the fact that the volume of mobilization was less, and the state did not fully finance military personnel..

She believes that the law corrects this situation, since the state can currently sufficiently finance the work of the military.

According to the lawyer of KPD Consulting Kirill Kazak, a dismissal procedure is also provided for mobilized workers, writes the page.

It provides:.

writing an application by the employee or notifying the employer of the fact of mobilization;

issuance of an order to dismiss an employee from work in connection with conscription for military service due to mobilization from the day of absence from work while maintaining the place of work and average earnings.
