Ukrainian employment law is undergoing significant updates aimed at enhancing clarity and functionality for both employees and employers. Recent developments, effective from 2025, are aimed at reinforcing the rights of workers and outlining clearer obligations for employers.
One of the focal points of the changes is related to payments made during educational leave. According to Onlayninspektsiya, "Payments for study leave must be made in advance based on the provided summon certificate. No proof of successful completion of exams is required, and the employer has no right to demand repayment of such allowances." This stipulation ensures students can receive their study leave payments without additional stress about exam outcomes, maintaining access to educational opportunities.
Another significant update addresses the documentation requirements during the termination of employment. Currently, the protocol surrounding what employers must provide—and what they cannot—has been revised. The Ministry of Labor has clarified, “Employers no longer need to issue 182n income statements; this obligation will be taken over by the consolidated insurance fund.” This change simplifies the process for both employers and employees, alleviating the administrative burden associated with generating such documents.
