How long can the salary be delayed?

For violation of the established terms of payment of wages to employees for more than one month, a financial sanction is provided for the employer in the amount of three times the minimum wage established at the time of discovery of the violation (from April 2024 - UAH 24,000).

Salary payment deadlines:

• for the first half of the month – the 22nd of the current month;

• for a full month – the 7th of the following month (the month following the month for which the salary was calculated).

It is not possible to pay salaries after these dates, as well as to set deadlines for salary payments later than these dates. After all, this will lead to a violation of the established deadlines for the payment of salaries to employees.
