On November 22, the Law was sent to the President for signature, introducing amendments to Article 7 of the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Social Insurance in Connection with Temporary Disability and Funeral Expenses” (Bill No. 3116, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on 10.11.2013).

According to the changes, childcare leave up to 3 years is now also counted toward the insurance record. Recall that this period of leave was previously included in the insurance record for pensions, but was not counted toward the insurance record for sick-leave certificates, because that record requires monthly payment by the individual and the employer of the insurance contribution in an amount not less than the minimum insurance contribution. According to the Law of 08.07.2010 No. 2464 “On the collection and accounting of the single contribution to compulsory state social insurance” insurance contributions were paid by the labor and social protection authorities and were not paid by the individuals themselves.

According to Natalia Korolevska, the changes to a number of regulatory acts will make it possible to increase the amounts of temporary disability benefits for young mothers and the level of social protection.
