Good day! Here is a brief overview of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 490 dated April 1, 2026.
1. **Essence of the Law:**
The resolution defines the procedure for an employer to count towards the fulfillment of the job quota for employing persons with disabilities, as well as the list of staff positions that are not taken into account when calculating this quota. It is aimed at stimulating the employment of persons with disabilities, especially those with the first disability group or the second group with visual impairments or mental disorders.
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:**
The resolution consists of two main parts: the procedure for an employer to count towards the fulfillment of the job quota for employing persons with disabilities and the list of staff positions that are not included in the average number of employees when calculating the quota. The procedure defines the mechanism for double counting for certain categories of persons with disabilities, and the list establishes which positions with arduous, harmful, or hazardous working conditions are not taken into account when calculating the quota.
3. **Key Provisions for Use:**
The most important provision is the possibility of “double counting” when employing persons with the first disability group or the second group with visual impairments or mental disorders, which allows the employer to count one such person as two employees for the fulfillment of the quota. It is also important to consider the list of staff positions that are not included in the calculation of the quota in order to correctly determine the number of jobs for employing persons with disabilities.
