These changes aim to enhance efficiency, streamline bureaucratic procedures, and improve transparency.
What is changing?
Accounting for mobilized employees. Companies are now required to include employees drafted for military service after May 18, 2024, when calculating the total number of employees eligible for deferment.
The 72-hour verification requirement has been abolished. Government agencies are no longer obligated to conduct mandatory checks of employee data within 72 hours of submission. This will expedite the reserving process.
A shorter cancellation period. The time frame for canceling employee deferments has been reduced to five days, allowing for quicker updates to records.
New salary calculation criteria. The average monthly salary will now be used to determine whether a business is considered critical, replacing previous calculation methods.
Automated data integration — the Pension Fund and the Ministry of Digital Transformation will combine their databases for automatic verification of businesses' compliance with salary criteria for employee reserving.
These updates are expected to make the reserving system more transparent and adaptive while maintaining strict oversight of businesses and their personnel policies.
With the implementation of these changes, companies must reassess their HR strategies and compliance procedures to align with the new regulations.
