The Ukrainian Parliament has adopted a law for non-standard forms of employment (freelance).
The draft law introduces a new form of employment contract – an employment contract with unfixed working hours. Such employment contracts are introduced as an alternative to civil law contracts. This means that an employee can combine work with several employers legally and have basic social guarantees (sick leave, vacations, sufficient salary level, etc.) The document states that an employer’s number of employment contracts with non-fixed working hours cannot exceed 10% of the total number of employment contracts to which the employer is a party. It also provides that an employer cannot prohibit or create obstacles for an employee who performs work based on an employment contract with unfixed working hours to perform work under another employment contract with another employer.
