RESERVATION OF MILITARY EMPLOYEES. DIFFICULTIES AND NUANCES

One of the grounds for exemption from mobilization during martial law is the reservation of a conscripted employee. But you need to understand that booking employees is not a simple procedure that requires a lot of effort on the part of the employer.

Reservation of conscripts is the prevention of mobilization of persons who work in such spheres as ensure the functioning of the state. In other words, they are employees of critical infrastructure, enterprises that ensure the vital activities of the state (for example, bakeries, factories for the production of food products, and others), and state and local self-government bodies.

Normative base

Currently, the regulatory document that regulates the procedure for booking conscripts is Resolution of the CMU No. 194 dated March 3, 2022.

Procedure

The booking procedure is quite multi-level. First, the enterprise must send the justification for the need to reserve certain employees to the Ministry of Economy. The Ministry of Economy should consider this justification and make an appropriate decision that will be sent to the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Agricultural Policy.

In turn, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy sends a package of documents to the enterprise, which includes a list of employees subject to reservation. After that, the enterprise must create an extract based on the received documents and provide it to the employee. This extract will be the basis for the employee to make a reservation in the center of procurement and social support. That is, in order to get a reservation, you need to make a lot of effort on the part of the employer. After all, if you make a mistake at any stage, you can get a refusal to book conscripts.

Term

The term for which a conscript can be booked is defined in the decision of the Ministry of Economy. In case of dismissal of an employee, his reservation becomes invalid and such a person can be mobilized on general grounds.

Specifics

It is worth noting that not all enterprises can book servicemen, but only those that produce products or provide services that are necessary during martial law. They can also be enterprises that have concluded contracts for the performance of certain functions with state or local self-government bodies.

Who is not subject to reservation?

There are certain categories of persons who, despite working in critical areas, cannot be reserved. They include persons with military accounting specialties important for the armed forces.

So, as can be seen from the above, in order to reserve a conscripted employee, the enterprise needs to make a lot of effort, starting with the definition of the category of employees who can be reserved and continuing with the preparation of all the necessary documents. Therefore, in case of any unclear or ambiguous situations, do not neglect the qualified help of specialists.
