Unblocking without consent: how employers can cancel mobilization protection via «Dія» and where the legal limits lie

Politics 08/06/2026, 19:40
🚨 Employers can cancel an employee's protection via «Dія» without their consent. A lawyer has clarified the legal grounds and technical nuances of the procedure. ⚖️ 🔹 Removal of protection is not a disciplinary sanction. Using it as punishment for absenteeism is illegal. 🔹 Legally, applications can be submitted daily, but the «Dія» portal may have technical limitations (a 5-day window). 🔹 Legal reasons: dismissal, transfer to a non-protected position, or exceeding the quota. 📌 Ignoring the quota threatens the cancellation of the critical status for the entire enterprise. #Ukraine #Mobilization #Diy #LaborLaw
