According to the FSS, the electronic sick leave has the status “closed” from the day of its creation and changes it to “ready for payment” on the day of issue – i.e. seven days after the closing date for sick leave due to temporary incapacity and seven days after the opening date – for sick leave during pregnancy and childbirth.
However, today we receive requests from employers and employees regarding the lack of change of status – in some places, e-hospitals remain closed despite the expiry of the deadlines.
In this case, you need to focus on the dates – if seven days have passed after the closing date (opening date for maternity leave) specified in the e-hospital record, on the eighth day you can start working with the e-hospital record and submit an application for payment by Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine, even if the status remained “closed”.
