Ukrainian MPs propose simplifying employment of foreigners

The draft law has been published on the website of the Verkhovna Rada.

"The purpose of the bill is to overcome and prevent the negative consequences of mass labor migration of Ukrainians abroad and to overcome the crisis with a shortage of employees in Ukraine by regulating the work of companies engaged in the employment of Ukrainians abroad, liberalizing procedures and rules of employment in Ukraine for foreign citizens and stateless persons," the explanatory note to the document reads.

To this end, it is proposed to ban companies operating in the field of international employment from receiving funds from a potential jobseeker for employment abroad, impose administrative liability for the violation by such companies of a ban on collecting from citizens any fees and other rewards for mediation in employment in Ukraine or abroad.
