The suspension of the employment contract does not entail the termination of the employment relationship. In accordance with Article 22 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mandatory State Social Insurance", temporary disability assistance is provided to the insured person in the form of financial support, which fully or partially compensates for the loss of wages (income) in the event of an insured event.
Thus, during the period of suspension of the employment contract, the payment of wages is stopped and, accordingly, the employee's right to financial support, which fully or partially compensates for the loss of wages (income), is lost.
