In Ukraine, control over the registration and payment of sick leave is being strengthened - from April 1, they will be checked more strictly, and the opportunity to “draw” a certificate is expected to disappear. If sick leave is deemed unfounded, the medical institution or doctor will have to pay - such financial responsibility is being introduced for the first time.

We are talking about changes to the law of Ukraine " They give the Pension Fund (PFU) the right to check the validity of payments and demand a refund.

Registration of paper sick leave will be allowed only in cases where it is impossible to generate an electronic document. The procedure for issuing them will be determined by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

This rule will be in effect temporarily - during martial law and for another three months after its end.. And in the future, all sick leave certificates without exception will be electronic.

Registration through Diya is suitable for those who:.

If the phone does not support NFC, the card can be issued through PrivatBank and ordered in plastic form. This is a separate physical card that is not associated with Diie, it will be useful for those who use a push-button telephone or do not have an RNOCPP (identification code).
