When Janusz Zaorski made the film Happy New York in the 1990s telling the story of our American dream, it would never have occurred to anyone that Poland might one day become an emigration destination. Meanwhile, since 2015, there has been a significant increase in immigrantsów from Ukraine. This is evidenced by the fact that 50,000 work permits were issued this year, compared to 2014, when 26,000 were recorded.According to the Central Statistical Office, 93,100 more were issued in 2018 than in 2017.
The number of work permits issued to Ukrainian citizens in Poland in 2018 was 93,100 more than in 2017.
Citizens of Ukraine whoóy want to work in Poland, however, face various doubts of the type whether they should fear deportation if they exceed the length of stay specified in the visa. However, not only Ukrainians, but also employers in Poland face dilemmas. For both of them, a good suggestion is to cooperate with Atlas Work.
Statement for a good start
According to GIS data from the first halfóof 2019, the number of work permits for foreignersów amounted to 217.3 of which 162,421 were for Ukrainiansów. They are already employed in all sectors, and it is definitely a mistake to believe that they perform only the simplest jobs. So how to hire an employee from Ukraine? To begin with, the most important thing is to obtain the right to stay in Poland, as well as the right to work. If a citizen of Ukraine stays in Poland on the basis of a visa or temporary residence permit, in order to be legally employed, he should obtain a work permit. Permits for permanent residence or for residence of a long-term resident of the European Union exempt from the need to obtain documentsów to take up work. Temporary residence and work permits róalso exempt from the need for a work permit.
The easiest and fastest way to work legally is through a statement by a Polish employer to entrust work to a foreigner. This allows you to work for 6 months in a year without applying for a work permit. For this purpose, at the District Labor Office such an employer submits documents about the company, the person employed, the type of work, the amount of salary. A fee of PLN 30 must also be paid. Such a statement is entered by the PUP in the register of statements. The original of the statement is given to the employee, so that he can apply at the diplomatic post of his country for a visa allowing legal work. On the day the employee starts work, the employer informs the PUP, similarly, if the person does not come to work, for which the employer has 7 days from the date of commencement of work entered in the statement.
The farther away, the not at all more difficult
When a company decides to hire an employee for a longer period of time then, at the earliest after 3 months of previous cooperation, a residence and work permit is applied for. The employer has the same obligations towards a foreigner as towards a Polish citizen. Compliance with labor laws, notification to the Social Insurance Institution and payment of contributions or income tax are issues for which the employer is responsible. Disregard by the employer of matters related to the legality of residency is associated with serious consequences, financial in the form of a fine or even imprisonment for up to 3 years.
