As reported by the press service of the ministry, according to Article 155 of the Labor Code, any organizations with 25 or more employees are required to allocate at least 4% of job positions for individuals with disabilities. This condition may include part-time work.
For organizations with fewer employees, the following quotas are established:
- For 25-49 employees - at least one job position;
- For 50-74 - at least two job positions, of which at least one must be for individuals with disabilities of the I or II group;
- For 75-99 - at least three job positions, also at least one for individuals with disabilities of the I or II group;
- For 100-124 - at least four job positions, with at least two for individuals with disabilities;
- For 125-149 - at least five job positions, with at least three for individuals with disabilities;
- For 150-174 - at least six job positions, with at least three for individuals with disabilities;
- For 175-199 - at least seven job positions, with at least four for individuals with disabilities;
- For 200 or more employees - similarly.
Employers are required to ensure the adaptation of workplaces, including building accessibility, equipping with necessary technical means, training employees, and other measures, as well as creating safe working conditions for people with disabilities (PWD).Failure to comply with the quotas entails administrative liability: the fine for individuals is 75 calculated indicators, and for legal entities - 230 calculated indicators.
In addition, state and municipal authorities must:
- comply with the rules for job quotas for individuals with disabilities;
- promptly inform the authorized bodies about the availability of vacant positions;
- provide quarterly information on the filling of quota job positions and their adaptation;
- ensure the procedure for employment and adaptation of workplaces.
