In Ukraine, a law has come into force that cancels the preservation of average earnings for mobilized people

On July 19, Law No. 2352-IX "on amendments to certain laws of Ukraine concerning optimization of Labor Relations"came into force. It, in particular, provides for the exemption of the employer from the obligation to keep the average salary of employees who were called up for military service.

Most importantly, the new law amends part 3 of Article 119 of the Labor Code of Ukraine, writes AIN. Previously, this rule provided that a person who is called up for military service retains the place of work, position and average earnings in an institution or organization, regardless of subordination and form of ownership. However, now the phrase "average earnings"has been removed from the text of the norm. That is, such military personnel retain only their place of work and position.Employees who were wounded during their military service and are being treated in medical institutions, as well as those who were captured or recognized as missing, are also deprived of guarantees for the payment of average earnings.The law will be in force during the period of martial law and will become invalid from the date of its termination or cancellation.

On July 12, a petition appeared on the website of the president of Ukraine asking to return the bill for reconsideration (now it has received a little more than 1,300 votes). It is impossible to cancel the law that has already been signed and published in a simple way. You can sign a petition to draw public attention to problematic issues. And then the Verkhovna Rada can vote for a new project that will cancel the innovation.
