Labor aspects of legislation

摘要

In accordance with Ukraine's constitution, foreigners have equal rights and obligations in labor relations with citizens of the state. Meanwhile, the fact that a foreigner generally should get a working permit to be eligible for employment in Ukraine is a specific peculiarity of foreign employees' status. This procedure is governed by current labor legislation of Ukraine and other legislative acts of Ukraine. Foreign citizens can immigrate to Ukraine to be temporary employed and work pursuant to duly issued permit. The policy of issuance is no less interesting than the specific list of documents that should be submitted to authoritative bodies. Working permit is issued to a foreigner under conditions that there are no employees-citizens of the state that can fulfill particular kind of job or if there are sufficient grounds of foreign specialists' labor expediency. Only companies - payees of fees to the State fund of employment assistance, registered in local employment centers - have the right to employ foreigners.
