The Lviv regional department of social security sued Intellias Solutions LLC for allegedly failing to meet the quota for employment of people with disabilities in 2024. What came of this is further.
The fund demanded to recover UAH 2,576,886 from the company for allegedly failing to meet the employment standard for people with disabilities.
According to the plaintiff’s calculation, the average number of employees is 78 people; the standard (4%) is three people; two people were actually employed. One «unfilled» position entailed a sanction in the amount of the average annual salary — UAH 2,366,287. An additional UAH 210,598 penalty was assessed.
Intellias Solutions LLC denied the claim, stating that the company created special workplaces for people with disabilities, submitted forms No. 3-PN to the employment service indicating inclusive conditions, informed about vacancies with salaries of UAH 58,000 and UAH 66,000, and independently searched for candidates through job platforms and its own website.
The company also stated that by the end of 2024, it had employed 13 people with disabilities, compared to the standard of 12 (actual number of employees: 303).
On January 27, the court concluded that the employer had fulfilled its obligations under the law — created jobs, notified the employment service, and took measures to provide employment.
The court noted that the obligation to provide employment rests not only with the employer, but also with the state employment service, and proof of the employer’s proper compliance with the requirements is the submission of Form No. 3-PN.
The Fund’s claim was denied in full, and it must also compensate for legal costs. The decision will enter into force after the deadline for appeal has expired — 30 days from the date of the decision’s announcement.
