I am a civil servant, I am in the city of Kherson, which is considered a zone of active hostilities. Does the management have the right in an ultimatum to force people to go to work, or can they fire them? Is this legal?

Yes, it is necessary to show up for work.

The Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution on raising the salaries of employees of state bodies working in territories where active or possible hostilities are ongoing.

For employees of state bodies in the territories of active hostilities, salaries are determined taking into account the coefficient of 2, and in the territories of possible hostilities - taking into account the coefficient of 1.5.
