Read everything that happened last week in Ukraine and around the world that is relevant and interesting for the furniture maker in our digest:<\/i><\/p>\n
1. The Verkhovna Rada passed a law to strengthen the protection of workers’ rights, updating labour legislation on collective agreements and mass dismissals in particular.<\/p>\n
Among other things, the provisions of the legislation have been clarified in terms of determining the signs of what is a mass dismissal of employees at the initiative of the employer and how the employer notifies the mass dismissal; the procedure for the employer to consult with trade union representatives before the mass dismissal of employees.<\/p>\n
The Verkhovna Rada also adopted a bill (Reg. \u21165371) on simplifying the regulation of labour relations for small and medium-sized businesses and reducing the administrative burden on entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
Amendments to these legislative acts propose to introduce a contractual regime of labour relations with the possibility at its discretion and by mutual agreement of the parties to include in the written employment contract provisions on the emergence and termination of labour relations, wages, labour standards, wages, allowances, surcharges, bonuses, rewards and another incentive, compensation and guarantee payments, working hours and rest rates, duration of weekly rest and other rights and guarantees defined by the Labor Code of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
2. Canada abolished all duties on Ukrainian goods for a year. “The abolition of tariffs by Canada is an important continuation of the initiative of the EU and Britain, which confirms the interest of developed countries to involve the Ukrainian economy in their own industrial and trade chains,” said Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Svyridenko.<\/p>\n
