The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved new rules for paying sick-lists, for which the employee can be sick at the expense of the state for not more than five days. The stay of the employee on a sick-list for more than five days will be paid at the expense of the patient.
In the case of providing a certificate of the patient's stay in the hospital for five days, the payment of the temporary disability of the employee will be performed by the enterprise in the amount determined by the experience and deduction of this payment from a single social contribution. To date, it includes an insurance payment for incapacity for work.
If the company pays for a longer term of the sick-list, criminal liability may come. Now this is the preferential treatment of the territorial divisions of the Pension Fund of Ukraine. Accountants of enterprises must provide "overdue" medical bulletins and other certificates to the pension fund.
As practicing accountants explain, in view of the latest innovations, the statistics of the official morbidity of the working class sharply "decreased". Workers prefer to either be sick no more than five days, or "carry the disease on their feet" while attending work.
According to the Federation of Employers of Ukraine, a draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers has already been developed, according to which the sick days will be paid to the employee in the amount of 80% of his average salary regardless of length of service.
