Where to turn if the employer does not want to fire?

Voluntary dismissal is the right of every employee, enshrined in Article 36 of the Labor Code of Ukraine. However, in practice there are cases when the employer resists the dismissal of the employee.

What to do if the employer does not give the opportunity to resign?

First, try to resolve the issue directly with the employer. Write a statement of voluntary resignation in two copies. Give one copy to the employer, ask him to mark receipt on the second. Keep this copy with you. If the employer refuses to accept the application, send it by registered mail with a notice of delivery.

Try to talk to the employer personally and find out the reasons for his reluctance to fire you. Perhaps there is a compromise solution that will suit both parties. If direct communication has not yielded results, contact the trade union (if available). She can help you resolve a labor dispute with an employer. Trade union lawyers will advise you on your rights and help you draw up the necessary documents.

Contact the State Labor Service of Ukraine. This body has the authority to conduct inspections of compliance with labor legislation, including regarding the dismissal of employees. You can file a complaint against the employer with the State Labor Service, which will consider it and take appropriate measures.

If none of the above methods have yielded results, you can file a lawsuit to terminate the employment contract. The court will review your case and issue a binding decision.

Seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer who will help you prepare the documents correctly and protect your rights. When applying for help, do not forget to bring with you all the documents that confirm your employment and the reasons for which you want to quit.

Remember: you have the right to quit your job at your own will, and no employer can prevent you from doing so. Don't be afraid to stand up for your rights.
