The minimum wage will remain unchanged.
The Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading the draft budget for 2025, which approved the new minimum wage. Some social payments and taxes will be linked to it.
This is stated in the material “24 Channel”.
Social standards, including the minimum wage, will most likely remain at the same level.
The draft state budget for 2025 includes expenses for establishing the minimum wage from January 1 in the amount of 8,000 hryvnia.
“The specified amount of the minimum wage ensures the achieved level of this guarantee, taking into account its significant increase in 2024 (the increase was 16% compared to 2023),” the explanatory note says.
The document also states that as part of Ukraine's European integration and the continuation of public administration reform, civil servants will be paid on the basis of a new job classification system.
Recall that the country's main estimate for next year caused a great resonance in society. The authorities are also unhappy with the document.
