On December 17, the IV Labor Law Forum of the Ukrainian Bar Association was held, which brought together leading experts to discuss topical practical issues of labor relations under martial law.

During the second session of the forum, Vladislav Zaitsev, attorney at ARES Law Company, Head of the APU Committee on Migration Law, delivered a report. His speech was devoted to the topic of criticality of enterprises and practical aspects of employee reservation.

The speaker emphasized that for a significant number of companies, obtaining the status of a critical enterprise and proper organization of personnel reservation are key factors in ensuring business continuity. Vladislav Zaitsev drew attention to the need for a preliminary comprehensive analysis of the company and its personnel, in particular, checking the military registration data of employees and the presence of legal grounds for deferrals.

Separately, the lawyer emphasized the complexity of applying the criticality criteria defined by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 76, as well as the presence of procedural risks during the preparation and submission of documents for booking employees. According to him, mistakes at these stages can lead to failures or loss of time, which is critical for business in martial law conditions.

The ARES law firm systematically shares applied expertise and supports businesses in protecting their interests in wartime conditions. More details.
