The reason is that its provisions are already duplicated in other documents: the Labor Code, the Budget Code, the law on banks, the law on pension insurance, and other acts. Therefore, the separate law has been deemed obsolete.
Some of its provisions are planned to be transferred to other laws, such as the Labor Code and laws on education, pension insurance, and state benefits.
One of the key provisions that will be retained is the obligation of employers or government agencies that have delayed payments to charge interest and take inflation into account.
The draft will not require additional budget expenditures and, according to its developers, will not lead to negative social or economic consequences.
