On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding Streamlining the Granting of Leave for Preparation and Participation in Sports Competitions
Good day! Here is a brief overview of the law you sent.
1. **Essence of the Law:** The law amends the labor legislation of Ukraine, regulating the procedure for granting leave to employees who participate in sports competitions. It distinguishes between the procedure for granting leave to athletes of national teams and sports judges, the conditions for which are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and other employees, the conditions for which are determined by labor and/or collective agreements.
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:** The law amends the Labor Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Vacations,” and the Law of Ukraine “On Physical Culture and Sports.” The key change is that the duration, procedure, conditions for granting, and payment of leave for preparation and participation in sports competitions for athletes included in the national team and sports judges are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. For other employees, these issues are regulated by labor and/or collective agreements.
3. **Important Provisions for Use:** The most important is the differentiation of leave regulation for different categories of employees who participate in sports competitions. For athletes of national teams and sports judges, the conditions for granting leave are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which may ensure a more standardized and guaranteed approach. For other employees, the conditions are determined by labor and/or collective agreements, which provides greater flexibility but requires careful coordination between the employee and the employer.
