Smart-Holding, the main shareholder of Amstor Group, is going to terminate the labour agreements with the retailer’s employees staying away from their workplaces without valid excuses.

In particular, the retail chain’s management company issued administrative orders demanding that accountants and employees accountable for assets come back to their workplaces before 9:00 a.m. on 20 January. The company points out that this is required to control availability of commodities and valuables and prepare the payslips.

‘If you continue to stay away from work, it will be regarded as violation of the labour legislation and threaten payment of wages to average employees that has already been delayed,’ says the company’s announcement published on Monday, 19 January.

The company points out that its owner reserves the right to terminate labour agreements with the persons that fail to return to their workplaces by that time in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4, Part 1, Article 40 of the Labour Code of Ukraine (absence without leave).

But they need something that no company can provide on its own — political and regulatory stability. And this must be implemented already, and not wait for better times.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025
As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.
