Ukrainian employment contract review and labor disputes.
• Review of Ukrainian employment contracts and related documents.
• Assessment of labor disputes, evidence and possible legal steps.
• Drafting a claim and representation in Ukrainian first-instance proceedings under a separately agreed engagement.
• Advice is confined to Ukrainian law; foreign employment issues require locally qualified counsel.
Time limits decide more employment cases than arguments do
Dismissal: one month from the day you were served with a copy of the dismissal order.
Sums due on dismissal: three months from the day you received written notice of the amounts calculated and paid.
As regards claims for wages and other payments due to an employee, the three-month limit in Article 233(1) was held unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, Decision No. 1-р/2025 of 11 December 2025. If you are being refused on the ground that the limit has expired in a wages claim, that warrants separate analysis rather than giving up.
An employer claiming material damage from an employee has one year from the day the damage was discovered.
