Compensation for unused leave of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

How can I get compensation for unused leave during my service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

Unused leave is not only a lost right to rest, but also a real opportunity to receive compensation provided for by Ukrainian law. If you were unable to use your leave during your service, the state is obliged to compensate you in cash.

Steps to get compensation

The procedure for obtaining compensation for unused leave requires clear preparation and adherence to the established procedure. Attention at each stage is the key to a successful outcome, as even a minor inaccuracy can cause delays. It is also important to respond to the actions of the command in a timely manner so that the process does not drag on.

1. Preparation of documents. Gather all the necessary documents, including, but not limited to, your military ID card or military ID and extracts or certificates of non-use of leave.
2. Prepare a report. The report is submitted to the command of your unit. It should include the number of unused days of leave, the circumstances due to which the leave was not used and a request for financial compensation.
3. Submission of documents. Submit the report with all the attached documents to the office of your military unit. Be sure to receive confirmation of the registration of your application.
4. Control over the consideration of the application. If the command does not respond on time, it is important to have legal support to speed up the process.
5. Appealing the refusal. In case of an unreasonable refusal or delay, a lawyer will help you file a complaint with higher authorities or a court.

Contacting an experienced lawyer in a timely manner will help you avoid unnecessary complications and ensure that you receive compensation as soon as possible. Professional support will ensure that your rights are respected even in difficult situations.
