On November, 5 Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted for new Draft of Labor Code №1658 as of 27.12.2014 in the first reading. The Code consists of 9 books of 368 articles.
The Draft provides, in particular, the procedure for labor contract conclusion, its terms and termination, the specification of labor payments in different conditions, the responsibility of the employer for untimely salary payment to the employees, etc.
Currently it is foreseen that the Labor Code upon approval shall come into effect on January 1, 2016.
On the whole, great changes are expected for all labor market participants, which by no means shall have an impact on HR-departments and on every aspect of the relationship between the employers and the employees.
Nevertheless, today we believe that it is too early to give legal opinions for the new Draft of Labor Code is, as its provisions may significantly change and be amended in the nearest future. Our associates still have a critical position according this draft law, as there is no place for the employees’ protection norms of the soviet times in a concurrent society. The only thing that possible to state today is that this draft law does not ease the life of the employer.
We will inform you on the process of approval of this document which definitely has a great impact on business, and when the process reaches its final stage we will present our proposals and advices for the adjustment of HR-services and company leadership daily operations.
