We are talking about more than 8,000 employers who have hired 11,300 internally displaced persons. This was reported by the Government portal.
Currently, for each employed IDP who acquired this status after 24 February 2022, the state pays compensation in the amount of the minimum wage (UAH 8,000) for 3 months. And for the employment of IDPs with disabilities – 6 months.
To receive the money, the employer must enter into an employment contract (including a part-time contract) with the IDP. Then apply for compensation through the Diia portal or in paper form at the employment centre along with a package of required documents.
As a reminder, in April 2022, the Government introduced a programme to encourage entrepreneurs to hire IDPs. The programme aims to accelerate the adaptation of people who were forced to move to safer regions and increase employment among the population.
