Details: Under the new law, businesses may introduce rules of conduct envisaging the following:
- employees must inform them of any relatives in Russia or the occupied territories;
- employees may not disseminate confidential information of commercial or state importance.
Such rules are mandatory for companies of state or strategic importance.
An employer now has the right to dismiss an employee, subject to the mandatory consent of the trade union, if:
- the employee has been convicted of a crime against the national security of Ukraine and the verdict has entered into effect;
- the employee fails to comply with the rules of conduct.
