Authorities should audit businesses of suspected strategic nature without disrupting the booking process, businessmen say.
The suspension of bookings initiated by the Cabinet of Ministers has become a very serious problem, as businesses may be left without critical workers. Representatives of business associations said this at a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Thursday, October 17.
According to the president of Ukrmetallurgprom OP Alexander Kalenkov, the booking problem causes more damage to businesses than blackouts, because they risk being left without their most important workers.
“The representatives of the TCC just went to our checkpoint at the beginning of the day, where a thousand people were walking, handing out agendas – and they have already fulfilled their work plan for the next month come with us, they are afraid that we could not catch them in time, and it happened.
Kalenkov noted that one job in the steel industry creates 7.5 jobs in adjacent industries. Therefore, the closure of businesses in this area due to the lack of workers, which will cause a delay in the reservation, will create a crisis in the economic and social sphere and lead to a decrease in budget revenues.
At the same time, business representatives emphasized that the problem with bookings really needs to be solved, because in recent months the number of booked people has doubled, indicating the manipulation of the meaning of the strategic nature of the business. However, this problem can be solved without stopping the booking process, they say.
“If your finger hurts, you don’t need to amputate the whole leg, you need to treat the finger. . we will be left without critical workers,” emphasized the head of the Ukrtsement association, Pavel Kachur.
The participants of the press conference believe that the current level of digitalization of society and the presence in Ukraine of a separate department – the Ministry of Digital Development – makes it possible to digitize as much data as possible about all businesses, their level of strategy and the number of employees. Such a system would allow authorities to quickly respond to manipulation attempts, and a transparent business that operates, pays taxes and maintains defense capability would be protected from closures.
“In three years, it is possible to create a system where the prime minister or the relevant minister can see their industries and clearly understand which businesses are truly critical. 60 years old, and his booking will automatically be canceled and will be transferred to another position,” said Konstantin Saliy, president of the Ukrainian Union of Construction Materials Manufacturers.
Earlier it was learned that the Cabinet of Ministers has suspended the reservation of business workers in mid-November. Correspondent.net I wondered why this decision was made.
It was previously reported that the business was complaining about glitches in the employee booking system.
