Employment contract in Ukraine: where and how best to draw up a document?

An employment contract is a document certifying the employment relationship between an employer and an employee. The parties to the agreement are considered to be a legal entity and an individual.

During the war, certain norms of labor legislation temporarily lost their force. There is no consensus among lawyers as to whether it is necessary to amend the employment contracts of employers.

Nevertheless, even under martial law, the only way to protect yourself from misunderstandings after signing the contract is a thorough check of the employment contract by the employee before signing.

If it is necessary to draw up an individual labor contract during the war in Kyiv or Ukraine, we recommend using the legal services of the Consultant to order a turnkey document.

What to look for in an employment contract?

Professional lawyers especially pay attention to the fact that the employment contract under any circumstances must be carefully read by the employee. Since it contains all the main provisions for the implementation of the employee's labor activity, this is the main document that should detail all the conditions.

From the main provisions of the employment contract, it is extremely important to read the following points:

●     Job responsibilities of the employee;

●     Order, size, terms of remuneration;

●     Place of work.

These are the points on the basis of which labor disputes most often arise. Therefore, in order to avoid such disputes, we recommend that before signing the contract, ask to send it for review. We also recommend that you clarify whether it is possible to amend the contract at the suggestion of the hired person.

Our experts recommend that you first obtain professional advice from lawyers in the field of labor disputes in order to form an employment contract in accordance with applicable law and reduce the risk of disputes of any category.

Essential terms of employment contracts

When concluding an employment contract, it is important to understand that there are some essential conditions that are considered mandatory. These include the conditions:

●     Wages;

●     Labor function;

●     Places of work;

●     Terms of the contract.

In addition, there are optional, that is, not mandatory conditions of the employment contract. Such essential conditions usually arise from the specifics of labor activity in a particular position. Such additional conditions are usually fixed in the format of additional agreements, and usually this concerns issues that are not properly regulated by law.
