This year, Ukrainian farmers can receive compensation for the employment of migrants. According to the Department of Agricultural Development, this issue is especially important during the harvest campaign and at the beginning of the season of harvesting fruits and vegetables in enterprises. This was reported by the Lviv Regional Military Administration.
“Lviv region continues to receive internally displaced persons on a daily basis and today the issue of their employment is quite acute. At the same time, the region’s farmers are looking for seasonal workers on their plantations. Our task is to combine these interests and we do it in close communication between producers, employment centers and local communities that have provided shelter to internally displaced persons, “said Tetyana Hetman, director of the department.
As explained in the regional employment center, to address the issue of employment of displaced persons, the Government of Ukraine has allocated funds from the reserve fund to compensate employers.
“Reimbursement of expenses is provided in the amount of UAH 6,500 per month for each employed person for whom the employer pays a single contribution to the compulsory state social insurance for wartime and within 30 calendar days after its abolition or termination. The total duration of reimbursement may not exceed two months from the date of employment of IDPs (internally displaced persons), “said Vasyl Baryliuk, head of the regional employment center.
