The Cabinet of Ministers has introduced a 45-day reservation and canceled inspections for the defense industry

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved changes to the procedure for reserving military personnel, which allows enterprises of the defense-industrial complex to retain their human resources potential. The innovations provide for the possibility of temporary reservation for 45 days and the cancellation of the mandatory 72-hour check for critically important companies. This was reported by Ministry of Economy.

The new rules create an additional protection mechanism for employees of defense enterprises. Now, employers can reserve specialists for a period of 45 calendar days – this is the time allotted to an employee to rectify violations of military registration rules.

Another concession is provided for enterprises with confirmed critical status. They no longer need to wait 72 hours for verification of the submitted lists of employees for reservation.

"We continue to improve the reservation mechanism so that enterprises, especially in the defense industry, can operate stably and retain their teams. Quick decision-making, elimination of unnecessary delays, and the ability to reserve employees for the period of eliminating violations of military registration are what businesses have long been waiting for," commented Vitaliy Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.

• On November 26, it became known that defense enterprises will be able to build and design production facilities capacity simultaneously under a simplified procedure.
• On November 27, the European Business Association asked the Cabinet of Ministers change the rules for rebooking employees at critical enterprises.
