According to the law, currently, deferments are granted to individuals with disabilities of any group, those temporarily unfit for military service based on the conclusion of a Military Medical Commission, as well as conscripts who are caring for close relatives with disabilities or elderly family members, in the absence of other relatives who could take on this responsibility.
Parents with multiple children are also entitled to a deferment if they have no outstanding alimony obligations. This right extends to those whose close relatives have died, gone missing, or participated in combat operations during a state of war or Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO).
Students pursuing education at a higher level than previously attained, as well as teachers and researchers working at least 75% of full-time, also qualify for a deferment.
Additionally, employees of enterprises deemed critically important for the functioning of the state benefit from deferments.
However, enterprises classified as critical must confirm their status by February 28, 2025. They are also required to re-register employees who previously received deferments from mobilization under this category.
As lawyers note, failure to meet these requirements will result in the cancellation of deferments previously granted to employees of these organizations.
This means that if a critical enterprise does not confirm its status or fails to re-register its personnel according to the updated rules, its employees will no longer be protected by deferments.
Legal experts emphasize the importance of both employers and employees taking all necessary measures to ensure compliance with these new regulations to avoid potential consequences.
