What to do

How to resolve your situation: step by step

In an employment dispute three things decide the outcome: what is recorded in the orders and the contract, what you can prove, and whether the deadlines for applying have passed. So first gather documents and record the dates, then decide whether to write to the employer or go to the labour inspectorate or court.

01
Get the documents
The dismissal order, employment contract, payslip and income certificate. The employer must issue them at your request.
02
Record the dates
When you received the order and when final pay was due. Employment disputes have short deadlines for going to court.
03
Gather evidence
Correspondence, timesheets, witnesses, and proof that you actually worked if your employment was not formalised.
04
Send a written demand
A demand to issue documents or pay what is owed sometimes resolves the dispute without court and records your position.
05
Choose where to apply
The labour inspectorate, the labour disputes commission or court. Only a court can reinstate you; unpaid amounts can also be claimed through the inspectorate.

This is the general order of steps. The analysis of your situation will show what applies to you and which deadlines apply in your case.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I was dismissed unlawfully?

Get the order and documents, record the date and challenge the dismissal. Deadlines in employment disputes are short, so it is better not to delay.

When must the employer pay my final pay?

The law sets a deadline for final pay on dismissal. For a delay caused by the employer, average earnings are payable for the period of the delay.

Can I prove I worked without a formal contract?

Sometimes: through correspondence, witnesses, access passes, bank transfers. The more evidence, the better your chances.

Where can I complain about an employer?

To the State Labour Service, the labour disputes commission or a court, depending on what exactly was violated and what you want to achieve.

How much do the analysis and the conclusion cost?

The analysis of your situation is free. A written Jurly conclusion costs UAH 199, and you see the price before paying.
