The Verkhovna Rada held a vote on a draft law regarding the temporary reservation of employees of the defense industry. The Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence voted in favor of this decision. According to the new provision, critical infrastructure enterprises will have the opportunity to temporarily reserve employees, even if they have faced issues with military registration. This information was reported by the National Association of Defense and Security Industry of Ukraine.
It is important to note that under this draft law, employees of enterprises designated as critically important by government decision can be reserved even in the absence of their military registration, lack of data updates, or even if they are wanted
The initiative provides for the possibility of quick registration of employees for defense and strategic enterprises even during martial law. Moreover, the adopted document establishes restrictions regarding the terms of reservation and the frequency of using this procedure. It also outlines the conditions for removing employees from reservation in case of non-compliance with military registration requirements. This decision was a response to the requests of representatives of the defense industry to avoid the mobilization of their specialists.
The new initiative will simplify the hiring process for strategic enterprises and contribute to the retention of their workforce even in the dangerous conditions of war or conflict.
