If a company "re-booked" its employee in time, the MCC has the full legal right to mobilize him or her - a subcommittee of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security discussed the issue of reservation.
Companies should keep in mind the deadlines for booking their employees. In addition, business leaders themselves can update the data of employees liable for military service. This was emphasized by Olek-sandr Fediyenko, MP from the Servant of the People party, following a meeting of the Subcommittee on Cyberspace Security, Government Communications, and Cryptographic Information Protection of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security.
In addition to MPs, the meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Strategic Industries, and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The topic of the meeting was the issue of booking employees of facilities recognized as critical enterprises (liaison) and employees of the defense industry.
Practical problems in booking employees of telecommunications operators and defense industry workers, including newly created enterprises that produce electronic warfare and UAVs, were emphasized.
"As of now, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted Resolution No. 76, which defines the criteria and mechanisms for booking. There is an ongoing discussion about amending the resolution, but it is still just a discussion.
From what I've heard, in my opinion, most of the cases when an employee is mobilized from an enterprise are due to the inability of the management or an official to update the company's reservations and CV in time. And when there is a gap in time for an employee somewhere, the TCC has every right to mobilize such an employee under the current law. Therefore, dear managers, pay attention to this. Do everything in advance.
Next. It is not necessary for your employees who are liable for military service to go to the MCC to update their data; managers or officials of the company can do it directly.
See CMU Resolution 1487. There are forms on how to do this," emphasized Oleksandr Fediyenko.
"Many people complained that it takes a long time to process documents. Dear friends, a lot depends on the applicant.
Before submitting your list of employees, update the data on them from the Military Registration Com-mittee in advance, check the military specialties that are in short supply, maybe someone is already in the register of evaders (the Military Registration Committee will give an answer), the General Staff has 10 days to process such requests, so if your application contains someone with such problems (inaccurate or unreliable information), you will be denied without detail," said the member of the National Security Committee.
"Sole proprietors, there is nothing comforting for you. Everything is as it was, there is no reservation," he added.
He also cited an example when an employee of a company was booked, but when updating the data in the TCC and passing the VLC, the employee received a summons to report to the TCC the day after the reservation expired.
"If you, as a company, fail to rebook such an employee in time, the MCC has every legal right to mobilize him or her. Therefore, do not forget about the deadlines and draw conclusions.
The Ministry of Economy is preparing an order to extend the previously issued orders by a month. This is due to the entry into force of the Law on Mobilization.
In general, the issue of reservations is an extremely complicated one. On the one hand, we need military personnel, and on the other hand, we need the country's economy, defense industry, and commu-nications.
If you know of any cases when the MCC mobilized an employee of the defense industry who had a reservation, please immediately inform the committee," Fediyenko explained.
According to him, the representative of the Ministry of Strategic Industry promised during the discussion that their criteria would be revised. "The companies that deal with electronic warfare and UAVs are quite young, and the SME criteria that are currently in place are designed for companies that have been operating for years," he added.
Thus, we can see that the adopted amendments to the current law were adopted taking into account the changes in the requirements of the time and the imposed martial law in Ukraine, as well as the fact that a legal analysis of the situation, analysis of documents and verification of documents by a lawyer and a legal opinion were carried out.
