In Ukraine they decided to abolish work books
The Government of Ukraine on Wednesday is launching a bill and acts that will abolish the mandatory requirement of work records, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Dmitry Dubilet wrote about this on his Facebook page.
“Today we are launching a bill and government acts that will abolish the mandatory requirement of work records,” Dubilet wrote.
According to him, subject to parliament's adoption of this bill, citizens will not be required to submit their work record book to the employer when hiring. Accordingly, employers do not need to check or save it.
“The fact is that in the electronic registers of the state there is data on the work experience of all Ukrainians since 2000. This data is already used to calculate pensions or other social benefits,” the minister emphasized.
He noted that citizens will be able to easily obtain an electronic document with information about their work experience on the Internet. They can provide this document to the employer if it is important for him to check the applicant’s work experience from official registers.
“To receive this document, a citizen will need to make a few clicks and use an electronic signature. Also, I hope we will have time to add BankID there. Employers will be able to verify the authenticity of a document using a QR code, which will be automatically applied to these documents,” Dubilet noted.
The government representative also emphasized that if a person has work experience before 2000, it will be possible to enter this information into an electronic register - independently or through an employer. Then there will be no need to save the work book as a storage medium.
If someone still wants to “collect” information about their work experience in work books, the authorities will not prohibit it.
Dubilet hopes that laws and relevant resolutions will be adopted in the near future, and then everything will be technically possible to launch this year.
