Channel 5 host Roman Sukhan accused management of paying wages "under the table" and firing employees without cause, making the accusation after his own dismissal. He wrote this on Facebook.
According to him, two weeks before his dismissal, he wrote a letter to the channel's editor-in-chief, Vladimir Mzhelsky, listing the shortcomings of the format. Sukhan cited the main drawback as a lack of resources, which meant each person had to work three times as hard. The former host also stated that his official salary was one thousand hryvnias, with the rest deposited into his personal account.
According to Sukhan, there were no social guarantees. Specifically, if an employee took sick leave, they were forced to give part of their salary to another employee who covered for them, since sick leave was not provided for.
Sukhan also stated that he was tired of the paid content (so-called "jeans") on air. He said this affects all programs, except perhaps the news.
For his part, Mzhelsky stated in a media interview that the channel pays official salaries, but declined to elaborate further. It's important to note that the issue of salary payments at Channel 5 was already raised at the Ukrainian president's 2014 press conference. Channel 5, as a reminder, is owned by Petro Poroshenko.
