We would like to remind you that there is a program for compensating labor costs for employers who employ forcibly displaced persons. To use it, it is necessary to submit a package of documents in paper form to the local divisions of the employment service (contacts – https://bit.ly/40jWW59) or in electronic form through the Diya portal (https://bit.ly/3xbuxAF).
