Defined legal service
Establishing employment and final settlement
Distinguishing actual employment from contracting, self-employment or another civil model, gathering control and payment evidence and preparing the resulting claims.
The problem you need to resolve
- work was performed without an employment order or written contract
- the employer denies the relationship or did not make the final settlement
What you receive
- an evidence matrix and calculation
- an agreed document
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- work content and control
- time limits and payment calculation
- labour authority request, demand or claim
What we need from you
- communications and schedules
- orders, corporate mail and reports
- statements and payment proof
- termination records and witnesses
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fixed fee for the first-stage ‘Written action plan for your situation’: UAH 5,000.
- Standard scope: one situation, one legal objective and up to 25 pages of agreed documents.
- The stage includes questionnaire and document review, legal classification, three next actions, a missing-document list, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Where the next stage can be defined, its fixed fee is provided before work begins.
- More than 25 pages, additional objectives, urgent work or foreign-language documents are priced before work begins as a separate or extended stage.
- Court fees, notaries, translation, valuation, experts, registration and other third-party costs are excluded and agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- time is calculated by the specific claim
- wartime rules are reviewed separately
When this service is not suitable
- duration or contract title does not determine status by itself
- gig work and public service need specialised review
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
