Derzhpratsia clarified the new rules of work during martial law.

According to inkorr.com: In Ukraine, during martial law, new rules regarding working hours and rest have been introduced, as reported by Derzhpratsia. At critical facilities, the working week can be extended to 60 hours, and wages will also be increased. Some workers are given the opportunity to work a shorter week for higher pay. The work schedule at such facilities is determined by the employer.

Features of work activities

At critically important facilities, the working week may be extended to 60 hours with an increase in wages. For certain categories of workers, a reduced working time of 40 hours per week has been established, with their wages also increasing. The work schedule - the start and end of shifts - is determined by the employer.

Changes to rest rules

Changes have also been made to the rules on the duration of workers' rest. The minimum duration of weekly rest has been reduced, and work on weekends is no longer restricted. Other limitations have also been lifted. If an employer delays salary payments due to martial law, it is considered a violation of workers' rights.

Additionally, Ukrainians are prohibited from receiving both a pension and wages simultaneously.

These changes are aimed at adapting working conditions to the new realities that have arisen due to the war. They are intended to ensure the effective operation of critically important facilities but raise concerns about potential abuses and workers' rights in the new conditions. The issue of upholding workers' rights remains important amid the current economic situation in the country.
