Yes, an employer may engage employees to work on weekends and holidays during martial law. During this period, Articles 71 and 73 of the Labor Code of Ukraine, which generally regulate the prohibition of work on holidays and weekends and provide for compensation for such work, do not apply. This means that during wartime, employers have the right to require employees to work on these days without being obliged to provide additional compensation that is normally provided for work on non-working days.
