Enterprise recognition is critically important in Ukraine

In the conditions of economic instability and numerous challenges that Ukraine is facing, the issue of recognizing enterprises as critically important for the country’s economy and defense capability attracts special attention.

This status not only emphasizes the importance of the company, but also gives it certain preferences, including the ability to book employees.

In this article, we will consider the main requirements for companies, the conditions for obtaining the status of a critical enterprise and the process of booking employees.

Requirements for the company

In order for an enterprise to be recognized as critically important, it must meet a number of criteria established by the legislation of Ukraine.

The recognition of an enterprise as critically important in Ukraine is regulated by Resolution No. 76 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated January 27, 2023 (as amended by Resolution No. 650 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated June 5, 2024).

The main requirements include:

1. The amount of taxes paid to the budget is equivalent to 1.5 million euros.
2. The amount of receipts on accounts is equivalent to 32 million euros.
3. Enterprises of strategic importance for the country’s economy and defense.
4. No tax arrears.
5. The salary is not less than the average salary in the region.
6. The company is a resident of Diya City.

Conditions for obtaining the status of a critically important enterprise

The procedure for recognizing an enterprise as critically important includes several stages:

1. Application submission

The company must submit an application to the relevant government authorities. The application must contain justification explaining why the enterprise should receive such a status.

Documents should include information on production capacity, financial stability, strategic importance and social significance.

2. Evaluation of the application

State bodies evaluate the submitted application. This includes analyzing the information provided, conducting audits and consulting with relevant experts.

3. Making a decision

Based on the assessment of the application, a decision is made to grant or deny the status of a critically important enterprise. In case of a positive decision, the company receives a corresponding certificate.

Employee booking process

One of the key benefits of critical enterprise status is the ability to book employees. This means that some employees may be released from mobilization or other duties in the ranks of the Armed Forces.

The booking process includes the following stages:

1. Identification of key employees

The company determines which employees are critical to ensuring the continuous operation of the enterprise. These can be managers, engineers, technicians, etc.

2. List view

After identifying key employees, the company submits the list to the relevant government authorities for approval. The list should indicate the positions, functions and justification of the importance of each employee.

3. Evaluation and approval of the list

State bodies evaluate the submitted list and make a decision on approving or rejecting the reservation of employees.

4. Receiving confirmation

In case of a positive decision, the company receives a confirmation of the employee’s reservation. This allows them to remain at their workplaces without being involved in the ranks of the Armed Forces.

Recognition of the enterprise as critically important is an important step for ensuring the stability of the economy and defense capability of Ukraine.

Compliance with the requirements, careful preparation of documents and successful completion of all stages of the procedure allow companies to obtain this status and enjoy its benefits, in particular, the possibility of booking employees.
