Remember recently the Government allowed businesses to operate during alerts......but even here everything went wrong.....🤦♂️
📊 According to “Kyiv Digital,” in September the capital was under alert for over 242 hours, 85 of them during working hours. That’s almost half of the working month. 4 in September the government divided alerts into yellow (drones) and red (missiles, mass attacks) and allowed businesses to operate during yellow alerts “provided strict compliance with safety requirements.” The goal was right. But then — as always.
🤔 First — a rule without rules. You can work during a yellow alert if there is a shelter. If there isn’t one — “with the consent of the workforce.” But no one knows the procedure for such consent; they recommend a general meeting and minutes. In a café with 4 employees. And who’s liable if something happens — there’s no clear answer.
🗓️ Second — the deadline. They gave 3 months to provide shelters; 4 December those months run out. A shelter is not a hallway or a closet. For 37% of employees it’s far away or inaccessible. For an apartment building without a basement with a café on the first floor this means after 4 December up to 18 hours of closed doors per day.
📊 Third — people should decide for themselves. During a yellow alert 35% keep working, 29% watch the situation, 7% go to the shelter immediately. 13% say the employer expects work during alerts. 17% regularly work even though they would like to go to the shelter. Their rule doesn’t protect them. It doesn’t protect the owner either. Everyone is in a gray zone.
📑 This decision needs to be changed, and we will propose 3 points:
◾️ working during a yellow alert is allowed only if the employee agrees. The consent is written, one document.
◾️ at any moment the employee decides for themself, and you cannot punish someone for going to a shelter.
◾️ red remains red. Alerts, the ability to stop work, and instruction — as before, the employer’s duty.
Otherwise all this will turn either into another perfunctory set of rules, or simply another hook for officials to terrorize businesses with.
