On May 29, the EBA HR Committee met to discuss the latest changes in Ukrainian legislation on mobilization and military registration, analyze innovations, and find answers to numerous business questions.
\nKey changes and their impact on business:<\/p>\n
The new law on mobilization and the Cabinet of Ministers’ Resolutions No. 560 and No. 1487 have made significant adjustments to the military registration and mobilization. The main changes include clarification of the obligations of persons liable for military service, in particular, a specific deadline for updating data in the TCRs and SSs – until July 17, 2024; expansion of police powers, in particular, the police can now participate in warning groups and draw up acts of refusal to receive a call; a new method of notification – sending calls by mail – was introduced; fines for violation of military registration rules were increased, and it is now possible to impose fines without the personal presence of the violator; the procedure for reporting on military registration was updated. The Government also plans to amend the procedure for booking employees.<\/p>\n
How can a summons be served?<\/strong><\/p>\n Legislative innovations have expanded the ways in which summonses can be served. TCRs and SSs can form special groups consisting of representatives of TCRs and SSs, police and local authorities (e.g., heads of condominiums), who can serve summonses at the place of residence, work or study of a person. The summons can be delivered in person by representatives of TCRs and SSs, as well as by authorized persons of local governments, heads of enterprises or educational institutions. If the person does not receive the summons in person, it may be sent by registered mail to the address of registration or the address indicated when updating the data.<\/p>\n What are the penalties?<\/strong><\/p>\n Violation of the rules of military registration and evasion from mobilization are subject to fines and, in case of non-payment of the fine, enforcement proceedings may be initiated and accounts may be blocked, and failure to appear at the TCRs and SSs after receiving a call-up may result in restriction of driving privileges. Employers may be held administratively liable for violating the rules of military registration of employees.<\/p>\n Who is entitled to a deferment?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Law on Mobilization specifies the grounds and procedure for obtaining a deferral from mobilization. Reservations remain the only ground that does not require additional approval of the commission. Persons with disabilities of Group I or II, as well as persons caring for persons with disabilities, persons supporting three or more children under the age of 18, persons raising a child on their own if the other parent has died, gone missing, been deprived of parental rights, etc., persons pursuing full-time education, researchers and academic staff, as well as MPs of Ukraine and deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea must have documents confirming the right to deferment for the duration of their term of office. It is important to note that after each presidential decree on the extension of mobilization, it is necessary to reapply for a deferment.<\/p>\n Persons who have not registered for military service or have changed their military specialty are required to appear in person at the TCRs and SSs to update their data. In other cases, you can use the Reserve+ electronic cabinet, but its functionality is limited and the data may be outdated. Ukrainians who are abroad and are already registered for military service can update their data by email.<\/p>\n Conscript service has been canceled, and basic military training in higher education institutions will be introduced on September 1, 2025. Persons undergoing military training are not subject to mobilization.<\/p>\n We thank the speakers Valeriya Bezpala, attorney-at-law, and Vitalii Meliankov, senior associate at Vasil Kisil & Partners, for analyzing the new mobilization legislation, including valuable insights into how the law will work in practice for citizens, what obligations businesses have during mobilization, what powers the police and the Military Commissariat have, and what awaits men abroad.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On May 29, the EBA HR Committee met to discuss the latest changes in Ukrainian legislation on mobilization and military registration, analyze innovations, and find answers to numerous business questions.
