According to Article 5 of the Law of Ukraine of 15.03.2022 No. 2136-IX 'On the Organization of Labor Relations under Martial Law', during the period of martial law, it is permitted to dismiss an employee at the employer's initiative during their temporary incapacity, as well as during the employee's leave (except for maternity leave and leave to care for a child until they reach the age of three). The order for the termination of the employment contract with such an employee must specify the dismissal date, which is the first working day following the end date of the temporary incapacity indicated in the temporary incapacity document, or the first working day after the end of the leave.
