Resumption of work after demobilization

Discharge from military service and return to civilian life is an important stage that can be accompanied by a number of issues related to employment. Below we will consider the main aspects of resuming work after demobilization, based on the current legislation of Ukraine.

Employment guarantees for demobilized persons

According to Art. 119 of the Labor Code of Ukraine, citizens who have been called up for military service or alternative (non-military) service have the right to:

1. Save the place of work. After demobilization and release from military service, the employee has the right to return to his previous place of work.
2. Save the position. The employer is obliged to keep the position that he held before the conscription for an employee released from military service.
3. Save the average salary. For an employee who was called up for military service, his average salary is kept for 30 calendar days from the day of his release from military service.

Terms of reinstatement

The terms of resuming work after demobilization depend on the category of servicemen:

1. 10 days: for persons released from military service due to health.
2. 14 days: for persons who are released from military service due to the expiration of the term of fixed-term military service or the term of the contract.
3. 30 days: for persons who are released from military service for other reasons, except for the expiration of the term of fixed-term military service or the term of the contract.

Documents required for reinstatement

To resume work after demobilization, the employee must submit to the employer:

1. Demobilization certificate: a document confirming release from military service.
2. Application for reinstatement: in an arbitrary form.

The time spent in military service is counted towards preferential work experience, which gives the right to early retirement.
