Processing dismissal and sick leave via electronic communication.

Employees and employers can agree to use electronic means to process resignations or sick leave, but there are several key aspects to consider:

1. Dismissal:

● The exchange of official documents by e-mail with an electronic signature may be permitted if it is stipulated in the employment contract.

● It is recommended to send the original documents by mail or through the employment center.

● The use of electronic communication tools such as Viber or Telegram can be risky due to the possibility of being challenged.

2. Sick leave:

● Sick leave certificates are issued in the form of e-sick leave certificates through medical institutions that have access to the electronic healthcare system.

● After receiving the e-sick leave certificate, the employee notifies the employer in any convenient way.

● The e-sick leave certificate is available in your personal account on the Pension Fund of Ukraine's electronic services portal.
