How is the decision on the reservation of conscripts made?

1. Submission of documents by the employer:

• The employer prepares and submits a package of documents, which includes:
• a list of employees to be booked;
• justification of the need for booking;
• other documents in accordance with the established requirements.

Depending on the reason for the reservation, the application is sent to:

• The authority that issued the mobilisation orders (if the company carries out such orders).
• The body with which the contract was concluded (if there are contractual obligations).
• The body that granted the company the status of critical to national security or economy (for enterprises - the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, etc. depending on the company's field of activity).

2. Verification of documents by the authority issuing mobilisation orders:

• The authority verifies the accuracy of the submitted data and determines whether the company meets the criteria for booking employees.

3. Approval by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

• After the application is reviewed by the authorised body, the documents are sent to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for approval of the reservation.

4. Issuance of an order by the Ministry of Economy:

• The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine issues an order on the reservation of employees based on the approval of the General Staff.
• The order specifies the list of reserved employees and the duration of the deferral.

5. Submission of documents to the MCC:

• An extract from the reservation order is sent to the territorial recruitment centre (military enlistment office) to make changes to the person liable for military service.

6. Informing persons liable for military service:

• The employer issues an extract from the reservation order to the employee confirming his/her postponement from mobilisation.

Note: Reservation is possible only for employees of enterprises that perform mobilisation tasks or are critical to the functioning of the economy or national security.
