Where to turn in case of violation of labor legislation?

Unfortunately, situations where employers violate labor legislation are not uncommon in Ukraine. Knowing where to go to protect your rights is extremely important for every employee. In this article, we will look at the main bodies and institutions to which you can turn in case of violation of your labor rights:

Options for solving problems related to violations of labor legislation

1. Internal corporate solutions:

• Personnel department or HR department. The first step should always be to try to resolve the matter directly with your employer. Contact the personnel department or HR department with a written statement, clearly describing the nature of the violation and your requirements.
• Trade union. If your company has a trade union organization, contact it for help. A trade union can help you negotiate with your employer, provide legal advice and represent your interests if necessary.

2. Government agencies:

• State Service of Ukraine on Labor Issues: This body monitors compliance with labor legislation. You can submit a complaint to the State Labor Service both online and in person at its location.
• Court. You always have the right to go to court to protect your violated rights. This is the last, but also the most effective way to resolve a labor dispute.

Consult a lawyer

Why is it important to consult a lawyer if there is a violation of labor law?

Contacting a lawyer can significantly increase your chances of success compared to trying to defend your rights on your own. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Knowledge of the law. Lawyers have thorough knowledge of the labor legislation of Ukraine and understand all the subtleties and nuances of its application. They will be able to clearly identify exactly which of your rights have been violated and give you clear recommendations on what to do next.
2. Case management experience. Lawyers have experience in handling cases of violations of labor legislation. They know how to correctly draw up all the necessary documents, how to negotiate with the employer and how to effectively defend your interests in court.
