For years, many Ukrainiansóve been coming to Poland for work. The events of recent months have forced our neighborsóve to leave home, hence there are even more of them in our country, and thus the group of peopleóve willing to work has increased. What is worth knowing before accepting a Ukrainian for work?
Hiring foreignersów is a good solution for many employersów to quickly fill staff shortages. Ukrainians are motivated to work and apply themselves to their dutiesów. Are these the only advantages an employer reaps and can they count on subsidies for employeesów from Ukraine?
What are the benefits of hiring an employee from the East?
Until recently, many entrepreneursów had doubts about whether it was worth hiring foreignersów. This was primarily due to concerns about formal issues. The war in Ukraine changed the situation, and the government adopted a speculative law thatóra made the whole procedure related to legalizing the work of foreigners much easier. Now the employment of a Ukrainian is practically on the same terms as the Polesów, so the formal requirements are no longer a problemów. By opening up to the option of hiring Ukrainiansów, the employer gains access to a number of specialistsów in various fields. It is easy to find both people interested in permanent and temporary work. At the same time, doubts about employment continue to arise, and misinformation can be found online. Great excitement has been aroused, for example, by the subsidy of 800 PLN per employee from the East.
Does the employer get paid for hiring a Ukrainian?
When Poland was faced with a wave of emigration from the East, fake news appeared right alongside reliable information. One of them is that the employer will receive 800 for hiring a Ukrainian. This is not true. Employers do not get money for hiring a foreigner in the company. He will be employed on the same terms as a Pole and has the same rights as him. In this case, are there subsidies for hiring an employee from Ukraine? Yes and no. The company can apply to the Labor Office for a retrofit for the new job. So, if a company intends to hire a new employee, it can apply for a grant to equip the position. In the same way, you can apply for an internship funded by the UP. In this case, it is possible to receive a subsidy for an employee from Ukraine, just as for a Poleów. The condition is that an unemployed person is employed.
Eastern employee – advantages and disadvantages
Employing Ukrainiansós has far more advantages than disadvantages. First of all, foreigners are determined to find employment. They accept jobs for whichóre sometimes difficult to find employeesóin Poland, and they perform their duties conscientiously. Due to the fact that their culture is similar to ours, they adapt quite well to their new environment. Since Ukrainiansów are now abundant in our country, it is very easy to find candidates for work, even those for short periods. Thus, this is an excellent option for companies whose activities are largely seasonal and are related to agriculture or tourism, for example. Often these employees are willing to work at different times, are willing to work more hours per month and often declare the possibility of working weekends.
Until recently, the disadvantage was the possible paperwork for legal residency. Now, by simplifying the regulationsów this problem has disappeared. Another hassle may be the language barrier, with Ukrainian being similar to Polish and the biggest problems appear at the beginning of employment, so it is not an insurmountable obstacle.
