Reserved employees may lose their deferment from mobilization prematurely only on clearly defined legal grounds. At the same time, a transfer to another position within the same enterprise is not a reason for canceling the reservation.

This was reported by military lawyer Mykhailo Lobunko from the law firm “Prykhodko and Partners”. According to him, an employee who changes position or department does not need to reapply for reservation. The deferment is retained automatically, and the employer is obliged to notify the TCC within three days about the change of data.
Early cancellation of the reservation is possible only in specified cases: if the employee is dismissed, the enterprise ceases operations or loses its status as critically important, as well as at the employer’s initiative via the “Diia” application. Starting from 2026, cancellation of reservation through “Diia” occurs automatically within 24–72 hours.
Despite the automatic retention of the deferment, HR departments must correctly reflect all changes in the registers and notify the TCC about the employee’s new position. After that, the reservation status remains valid without additional reapplication.
The issue of reserving persons liable for military service during martial law and general mobilization remains one of the most relevant in Ukraine, particularly regarding the procedures for оформление and maintenance of deferments.
