Is it possible to dismiss a mobilised employee?
Share
As a general rule, it is prohibited to dismiss a mobilized employee. During their service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the employer is obliged to keep their job and position until they are demobilized.
However, there are exceptions to this rule:
- Liquidation of the enterprise: If the company is liquidated, this is grounds for dismissal of all employees, including those mobilized.
- Dismissal at the initiative of the employee: A mobilized employee may be dismissed at his/her own request if he/she submits a corresponding application.
It is important to note that the employer has no right to force an employee to write a resignation letter, and any resignation must be voluntary on the part of the employee.
