Employment of Workers from Asia for a Construction Company
With the growing demand for construction work in Poland, many companies face the issue of insufficient local workers. This is especially true for sectors such as construction, where a large number of workers are often required. In this context, the opportunity to hire foreign workers comes to the rescue. This case examines the situation of the construction company "Budowa," which needed qualified workers to perform various construction tasks. Since the labor market in Poland could not meet these needs, the company sought assistance from our experts to organize the process of hiring workers from Asia.
Situation
The construction company "Budowa" faced the problem of a labor shortage in the local market. The demand for skilled workers for construction jobs far exceeded the supply, which forced the company to explore alternative options. It was decided to hire workers from Nepal, India, and the Philippines. However, the company had no experience in organizing the process of obtaining work permits for foreign workers, which created certain challenges.
Key Challenges
- Obtaining Work Permits: According to Polish law, a work permit is required to employ foreign workers. This involves many stages, from gathering documents to obtaining visas.
- Organizing Document Submission to Consulates: For each worker, a document package had to be prepared, including an official invitation, proof of qualifications, and other documents that needed to be submitted to the consulates in their home countries.
- Meeting Deadlines and Avoiding Delays: The company "Budowa" needed workers as soon as possible, so it was crucial to avoid delays in the work permit process and visa issuance.
