Before hiring an employee, any employer is obliged to check whether the candidate is on military registration, where exactly, and whether the data is up-to-date, - said the head of the staffing sector of the Kyiv City TCC and JV Colonel Oleksandr Konovalov. 

And if the candidate for the position does not provide information about his military records, the employer, according to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 30.12.2022 No. 1487 "On the procedure for organizing and maintaining military records of conscripts, conscripts and reservists", does not have the right to hire such an employee .

Liability for violation of this requirement is provided for in Article 210-1 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.

An employer who employs an employee without confirming that he is on military registration faces administrative liability.
