Find out how Remote can guide you through the complexities of managing cross-border hiring, payroll, taxes, and compliance.

 

Employing in Ukraine

The Ukrainian constitution and the Labour Code are the principal governing statutes that define employee protections and workers’ rights applicable to Ukraine’s workforce of 19.5 million. Employees in Ukraine enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Ukraine.

Minimum Wage

The Ukrainian government has set the minimum wage for 2024 at UAH 7,100 from 1 January 2024 and UAH 8,000 from 1 April 2024. Hourly wages are set at UAH 42,6 from 1 January 2024 and UAH 48 from 1 April 2024.

Payroll Cycle

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal bi-monthly instalments, payable in arrears. Employees are paid twice a month, on the 15th and on the last working day of the month.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Ukraine fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 10 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.
