Formal issues

Pre-determine who is your contact person, write down the name, surname, position and contact number.

Determine what is the preferred style of communication, e.g. 1: 1 conversation, arranging details over the phone or maybe communicating via e-mail?

Before starting work, it is necessary to establish: The date, time, place of commencement of the actual work and the place where you are to report before starting work.

The issue of training (will it be organized, when and how long will it last and what it was about).

Before starting work, the most important trainings concern health and safety rules and the position performed.

 

Who you can contact with direct questions about your job, who is your immediate supervisor. Whether and when you need to provide the employer with the documents necessary to draw up the contract, e.g. work certificates, references, certificates or certificates. Where and when you should undergo occupational health examinations

If a special work or protective suit is required, how is the issue of clothing resolved (is it issued by the employer or do you have to buy it yourself; if so, can you apply for co-financing for workwear?) How best to prepare for the first day at work, what will it look like?

 

 

Job offer abroad

If you have decided to work abroad, make sure you find out the most important issues BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

The employment agency or direct employer should answer the following questions before signing the employment contract:

  • does the employer provide accommodation, what are the living conditions (how many bed rooms, what is the issue of equipment)
  • how much are the mixing fees and how are they paid (deducted from the salary or are they paid independently in advance for a specified period of time, e.g. the duration of the employment contract)?
  • does the employer organize travel to work and does he reimburse the costs of transport from the place of accommodation to work?
  • what breaks you are entitled to and how are they counted, also ask about the agreed working time (how many hours a day, how many days a week?)
  • is it necessary to take additional documents with you when going to work abroad, and if so, what? (e.g. additional health insurance, certificate or entitlements)
  • how is the salary paid (weekly or monthly?) and to what account? (Polish or currency?)
  • how and when is the leave determined? (both in short and long-term orders)
  • if any inconsistent situations arise, who will be your contact person?

Determining the most important issues for you, especially before going abroad, will save you a lot of stress related to taking up work abroad.

If you are traveling for the first time and you do not know what to expect in a new place, prepare in advance a list of the most important issues, questions as well as contact / emergency numbers that you can use in emergency situations.

Remember ! Who asks, does not err.

We wish you a lot of joy and satisfaction with your work.
