Employers will face challenges hiring Ukrainian citizens

Starting 1 July, the rules for legalizing employment of Ukrainian citizens will change. Employers will have less time to submit a notification to the regional labour office about assigning work to Ukrainian citizens – they will have 7 days instead of the previous 14. Employers have already reported difficulties meeting the deadline, and in case of issues, they often resorted to the method recommended by the offices – employment reset. This involves terminating the employee’s contract, rehiring them, and submitting the notification within the deadline. The reduction of the notification period to seven days is likely to increase the number of such cases, thereby raising employers’ costs related to employment resets and causing tension in relationships with Ukrainian employees, who may find this process difficult to understand. – Karolina Schiffter comments for Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
