‘Reserve+’ has updated its military registration system: who can no longer be registered — The ‘Reserve+’ app screen showing the military registration category.

Following an update to the ‘Reserve+’ app, the category of reservists has started to appear in military registration documents. Employers are therefore advised to double-check their employees’ details, as reservists are not subject to work restrictions.

Lawyer Tetyana Donets spoke about this on the Kadroland YouTube channel.

According to her, the app previously only displayed conscripts and those liable for military service. The category of reservists was not actually shown in the document, even though such individuals were registered with the military authorities.

Following the update, a clear distinction has been made in the document: those subject to military service are listed under the category ‘subject to military service’, whilst reservists are listed as ‘reservists’.

Why this is important for employers

The lawyer explained that, due to these changes, companies should re-check their lists of employees registered for military service.

Reservists are not subject to conscription and are not taken into account when calculating the quota for conscripting those liable for military service.

That is why, following the update, employers are advised to ask employees to provide a new document from ‘Reserve+’ and, if necessary, to amend the company’s military registration records.

Who can become a reservist

According to Tetiana Donets, reserve status may be granted to citizens who have voluntarily signed a contract to serve in the reserves, as well as to certain military personnel following their discharge from service, provided they meet the established requirements.

At the same time, a person liable for military service who has not served or has only completed military training at university does not automatically become a reservist.

What is the nuance with ‘Reserve+’?

The lawyer pointed out that the designation ‘reserve soldier’ with military registration speciality 999 does not mean that a person is a reservist.

In such cases, the person remains liable for military service; they can be called up and taken into account when calculating the quota.
