Decision dated December 26, 2024, in Case No. 174/1107/24 Vilnohorsk City Court of Dnipropetrovsk Region

An individual (PERSON_1) filed a lawsuit against LLC Motronivsky Mining and Processing Plant seeking unpaid wages totaling 76,960.48 UAH, including: 41,784.48 UAH in direct unpaid wages, 35,176 UAH in compensation for wage payment delay (average salary for the period of delay), and reimbursement of 3,500 UAH in legal fees.

He stated he had worked as an excavator operator from May 1, 2016, until his dismissal on July 29, 2024. At the time of dismissal, the company had not paid salaries for several months. This was confirmed by his July 2024 pay slip. The employer failed to fully settle wages on the termination date, violating Article 116 of the Labor Code of Ukraine, and had not made any payments up to the date of the court filing.

The court ruled to partially satisfy the claim and ordered LLC Motronivsky Mining and Processing Plant (EDRPOU code 39376858) to pay PERSON_1 35,000 UAH as compensation for the wage delay, excluding taxes and mandatory fees.
