Nova Poshta announced that it would continue to pay monthly material support to mobilized employees, despite changes in legislation. Its size will be 10,000 hryvnia.
Until now, the preservation of the average earnings of all workers called up for military service was guaranteed at the legislative level. However, on July 19, 2022, the Law 
Law of Ukraine “On the introduction of amendments to the current laws of Ukraine regarding the optimization of labor permits” No. 2352-IX , which provides for the introduction of important changes, in particular, in Part 3 of Art. 119 Labor Code of Ukraine. Provisions on maintaining average earnings at the place of work for employees during the period of conscription for military service are excluded from the article. Consequently, now only the place of work and position will be retained for such workers, but the preservation of average earnings is no longer guaranteed by the state – the above changes remove the obligation from employers to pay the average salary to employees called up for military service. In other words, now the decision to pay or not to pay the mobilized employees the average salary is made by the employer.
Nova Poshta values each employee and their contribution to the development of the company. More than 2,500 employees of the company are mobilized and heroically defend the future of our country in hot spots, so the company decided to introduce a monthly support for mobilized workers in the amount of 10,000 hryvnias.
from the statement “Nova Poshta”
Obviously, not all employers will turn out to be as socially responsible as Nova Poshta, and most likely this will lead to internal collective conflicts and an increase in social tension. AIN noted that on July 12, a few days before the signing of the law, a petition appeared on the website of the President of Ukraine , asking them to return the document for revision (just over 1,300 citizens have now signed it). At the same time, simply canceling the already existing law No. 2352-IX will not work – this can only be done with the passage of all the mandatory stages of the legislative process. That is, it is necessary that the President or someone else According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the right of legislative initiative in the Parliament belongs to the President, People’s Deputies, and the Cabinet of Ministers. introduced a new bill that would cancel the current one, and the Rada voted for it.
Nova Poshta is preparing to expand into the EU market – by the end of the year, the first branches will appear in Poland
