The Verkhovna Rada plans to consider a draft law that will regulate the employment and social protection of domestic workers, defining domestic work, employment contracts, age restrictions, and responsibility for ensuring safe working conditions.

The Verkhovna Rada plans to consider in the second reading a bill that should create conditions for the official employment of domestic workers at one of its next meetings. This was reported by UNN with reference to the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada meeting.

Draft Law No. 5695 on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Regulation of Domestic Workers was developed to regulate the employment and official employment of domestic workers, and to ensure social protection of domestic workers.

Thus, the draft law proposes, in particular, to define what:

- Domestic work is work performed for the household under an employment contract.

-       Work for the household that is performed by a person irregularly and for no more than 40 hours per month is not considered domestic work.

-       An employment contract shall be concluded with domestic workers, which is the main document certifying the emergence, change and termination of labor relations and defining the rights and obligations of the parties, and is the basis for the admission of a domestic worker to work after the employer notifies the central executive body, that implements the state policy on the administration of a single contribution to the obligatory state social insurance, on the hiring of a domestic worker in accordance with the procedure established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine

-       The employment agreement shall be concluded in writing in two copies of equal legal force and kept by each party.

-       It is not allowed to hire a person under the age of 16 as a domestic worker.

It is also proposed that the employer is responsible for ensuring safe and harmless working conditions, except in cases where an employee and employer conclude an employment contract for remote work. When using the labor of domestic workers, the parties to the employment contract are responsible for creating proper, safe and healthy working conditions. A domestic worker has the right to refuse to perform heavy work, work with harmful or dangerous working conditions.

Previously

The Rada liberalized labor legislation - a contractual regime of labor relations is being introduced.
