The issue of including military service in the length of service is important for military personnel and their employers, as it affects the amount of pensions and other social guarantees. In accordance with paragraph 2 of part 1 of article 8 of the Law of Ukraine "On social and legal protection of military personnel and members of their families", the time spent in military service is included in the insurance period, length of service in the specialty, as well as in the length of civil service. This provides military personnel with proper social protection during and after the end of their service.

Features of accounting for length of service for military personnel

Military personnel are provided with a special procedure for accounting for length of service. While serving in a special period, their length of service, length of service in the specialty, and length of civil service are taken into account on preferential terms determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. This allows taking into account the risks and difficulties that military personnel face in the performance of their duties.

The following periods are included in the length of service for determining the amount of the pension:

Preferential calculation ONE MONTH OF SERVICE FOR THREE MONTHS: This rule applies to those persons (specified in the first paragraph of paragraph 1 of this Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 393) who participated in hostilities, were in custody or served sentences for unlawful charges, as well as those who worked to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident.

Participation in anti-terrorist operations: This period is also taken into account on preferential terms for military personnel who participated in ensuring national security and defense, as well as in repelling armed aggression.
Calculation of insurance period for pension

The insurance period required for pension recalculation for military personnel is calculated according to special norms that take into account the peculiarities of their service. The general provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On General Mandatory State Pension Insurance” do not take into account the specific aspects of military service, therefore, separate provisions have been developed for the military.

Employment books and military service

Although the law does not require a record of mobilization in the employment book, a record of military service indicating the date of conscription and the date of discharge must be entered in a separate line. This is important for maintaining the continuity of employment relations and proper accounting of work experience.

Protection of the rights of mobilized employees

In the event of a violation of the rights of a mobilized employee, for example, if the employer refuses to pay wages or illegally dismisses him from work, the employee has the right to apply to the State Labor Service of Ukraine or to the court to protect his rights.

The inclusion of military service in the length of service is a key aspect of the social protection of military personnel. The special conditions for accounting for length of service provided for by Ukrainian legislation ensure that military personnel receive proper support for the performance of their duties. This helps preserve their rights and interests both during and after service.
