Types of subpoenas valid during martial law
In total, there are 4 types of subpoenas in Ukraine. However, according to the legislation of Ukraine, conscription for military service does not take place during martial law, therefore, corresponding summonses are not issued. Therefore, there are currently 3 types of subpoenas in force in Ukraine, namely:
1. Summons for clarification of data. It is given to clarify and update information about the composition of the family, the state of health of conscripts, place of work, etc.

The summons is accompanied by a research and medical examination card of the conscript. After the medical commission, this card will contain the conclusion of the military medical commission on fitness, unfitness or limited fitness for military service.
3. Mobilization order. This summons is issued to a conscript after passing a medical examination, if he is found fit for military service.
What subpoena is served most often
Most often, a summons is issued to clarify credentials. This happens because the TCC and SP may not have up-to-date account data of this or that conscript, as they often do not report or report late on changes in personal data.If the employer received an order to notify the employee about the summons to the TCC and SP
In the event that the employer receives an order regarding the notification of a call to the TCC and SP, he must comply with the obligations provided for in Clause 47 of Order No. 1487, namely:
• issue an order (order) on the notification of conscripts, conscripts and reservists, bring it to the attention of such persons under a personal signature in the part that concerns their arrival at the relevant district (city) territorial center of recruitment and social support, SBU body, Service subdivision of foreign intelligence within the terms specified by him, and send a copy of the order (order) within three days to the relevant district (city) territorial center of recruitment and social support, SBU body, division of the Foreign Intelligence Service;
• hand over to conscripts, conscripts and reservists summonses to appear on call to the district (city) territorial center of recruitment and social support, the SBU body, the unit of the Foreign Intelligence Service (if available);
Acquaintance with the summons
In turn, the employee can either put a mark of familiarization under the order given to him by the employer and receive a summons to appear on summons, if any, assuming the obligation to appear before the TCC and SP, or refuse to put a mark of familiarization with an order and refuse to receive a summons.In a situation where the employee refuses to put a mark on familiarization with the order and refuses to receive a summons (if available), we read the content of the order to him in the presence of witnesses, draw up an act recording such refusal and send such an act to the TCC and SP. Under such conditions, the employee will also be considered notified and will have the obligation to contact the TCC and the JV.
