New Salary Thresholds and Updated Rules for Workers Seeking Military Deferment Through Reservation.

Deferment from Conscription and Evolving Eligibility Criteria

According to Novyny.live: During mobilization and martial law, employees who hold a reservation status are granted a deferment from military conscription. However, they must possess either the original or a certified copy of the documents confirming this deferment. It is also essential to regularly check the validity period of the reservation, as it may change over time.

Changes to Salary Requirements

The rules regarding salary levels for obtaining a reservation have also shifted. The new minimum monthly wage required is now 21,617.50 hryvnias, an increase from the previous threshold of 20,000 hryvnias. Companies that fail to pay their employees this minimum amount in every month of the reporting period risk losing their right to grant reservations. As

Maryna Bekalo noted, 'this is an important aspect that all employers should pay attention to.'

Even individuals with an 'On the Run' status can be reserved if they work for critically important enterprises. Internally displaced persons are also eligible for reservation, reflecting the state's effort to support not only military personnel but also those facing difficult life circumstances during these challenging times. Personnel from Territorial Recruitment Centers and Social Support Departments can verify reservation information by accessing the registry from a mobile device, as

Roman Ukhov stated, 'making the process more accessible and transparent for all interested parties.'

These policy changes regarding employee reservations during mobilization demonstrate the state's adaptation to the new conditions brought on by the war. The increase in the minimum salary requirement for reservations may affect the financial stability of businesses, as not all will be able to meet these criteria. At the same time, the option for internally displaced persons and those with 'On the Run' status to receive reservations underscores the government's focus on supporting socially vulnerable groups during this difficult period.
