How many disabled persons should there be at the enterprise in 2024?

According to the legislation of Ukraine, enterprises, institutions and organizations that use hired labor are obliged to provide workplaces for the employment of persons with disabilities.

The number of such jobs is determined by the norm, which depends on the average number of full-time employees of the accounting staff for the year:

• When the enterprise employs from 8 to 25 people, there must be one workplace for a person with a disability.
• In the case when 25 or more people work at the enterprise, the norm is 4% of the average registered number of full-time employees.

Example:

1. The enterprise employs 15 people. Therefore, in order to fulfill these conditions, the enterprise must have one workplace for a person with a disability.
2. The enterprise employs 100 people. Therefore, in order to fulfill these conditions, the enterprise must have 4 workplaces for persons with disabilities.

It is important to note that:

1. The norm is calculated every year.
2. Businesses that do not comply with the requirements are liable in the form of fines.
3. There are certain categories of enterprises that are exempt from the regulation.
