On April 4, 2025, new rules for the payment of hospital for insured persons came into force in Ukraine. Citizens can now receive temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth assistance not only at the main place of work, but also at part -time work. The corresponding changes were adopted by the Law of Ukraine of December 18, 2024 No. 4158-I on compulsory state social insurance.
According to innovations, temporary disability assistance is now provided to insured persons not only at the main place of work, but also in combination. This means that if a person works under two or more employment contracts, he is entitled to hospital for each of the place of work. In addition, there are no restrictions on the number of such places of work.
These changes allow employees who have several places of work to get hospital for each of them. For example, if a person works mainly in one place and has part -time and has lost their ability to work, they will be able to receive hospital from both employers.
An important innovation is that there are no restrictions on how many places of work can be available for hospital. From now on, if a person has lost their ability to work due to an accident and is in employment with other employers, assistance will be provided at every place of work. However, in the event of an accident, for the first 5 days of temporary disability, the employer where the accident occurred is made of 100% of the average salary of the employee.
From the 6th day of temporary disability, hospitals will be funded by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
These changes significantly facilitate the lives of part -time workers, allowing them to receive financial assistance in the event of illness or other circumstances that require temporary termination of work. They can now be more protected because they have the right to receive hospital for each of the places of work, which was previously impossible.
The decision on changes to the legislation was made taking into account the needs of the modern labor market, where more and more people are working in several positions at the same time. Insured persons will no longer need to choose what work they can get hospital if there are several places of work.
