Derzhpratsi noted that in accordance with Article 40 of the Labor Code, an employer can fire an employee for absenteeism - absence without good reason for more than three hours.

“To dismiss on this basis, the owner or a body authorized by him must have evidence confirming the absence of the employee from the workplace for more than three hours during the day,” the message says..

Experts added that in order to establish the fact of absenteeism, it is necessary to properly record the employee’s absence from work and find out the reason.

“Article 5 of the law “On the organization of labor relations in conditions of martial law” prohibits the dismissal of an absent employee for absenteeism, whose workplace is located in territories of active hostilities,” the message says..

Derzhpratsi emphasized that the time such an employee is absent from work is not subject to payment and is not counted towards the length of service.
