On December 18, 2024, the First Senate, at the public part of the plenary session, in the form of written proceedings, initiated the deliberation of the case upon the constitutional complaint of Serhii Karas.

The impugned provisions of this law stipulate that the minimum wage after the entry into force of this law shall not be used as a calculation value for determining the salaries and wages of employees and other payments, except for the calculation of the annual amount of funding for the statutory activities of political parties; until amendments are introduced to the laws of Ukraine regarding the non-application of the minimum wage as a calculated value, it shall be applied in the amount of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons established as of January 1 of the calendar year, starting from January 1, 2017.
The Court adjourned the case.
