On November 25, 2025, the Grand Chamber continued the consideration of the case regarding constitutional complaints from employees who were called up or accepted for military service during a special period. They approached the Constitutional Court of Ukraine requesting to check the legislation, particularly amendments to the third part of Article 119 of the Labor Code of Ukraine.
In their opinion, these changes restrict their rights to receive average wages for employees who are in military service. The court heard the opinions of all parties, including representatives of the government, the Minister for Veterans Affairs, and the Military Ombudsman, and moved to a closed session to make a decision.
“The contested provision of the mentioned law is unconstitutional, as it narrows the content and scope of existing rights to receive average wages for employees who were called up for military service during the special period, violating the principle of the rule of law and guarantees provided for citizens in military service.”
The court listened to all parties in the case and is preparing to make a decision on this complex matter regarding guarantees for employees in military service.
