 |
|
Has anyone had to pay a fee--either to the school hiring you or to the office of the local Wojewoda--when applying for the work promise? I thought that a fee needs to be paid for the final work permit--after you already have your work visa and are in Poland. Do schools often cover this expense on behalf of their new employees?
Many thanks.

It's illegal in Poland (and I think throughout the EU) to have to pay to get a job. The cost of work permits is the school's responsibility, not the employees. This doesn't entitrely fit with Polish culture, but that's nevertheless the law here. If a school expects you to pay for a work permit, promesa etc, then that should be a warning sign.
The residence permit is not the school's responsibility, but a good one should pay if the teacher is full time. |

It's true that good schools should take care of this, unfortunately with the EU this is usually the situation for those of us who aren't from Europe have to go through.
Afterall schools could easily hire an EU citizen and avoid all these headahces.
So now, schools will hire non-EU citizens and then expect the teacher to do all the paperwork.
But I guess we can't complain. Afterall a job is better than no job at all. |
