11:55
A report in the Polish press on Monday indicated that the number of Poles working in temporary jobs in France was close to 300,000 in 2015, up from less than 10,000 just 15 years earlier. The report stated that, as a result of these increases, the employment agency IPF has opened a subsidiary in France, partnered with BNP Paribas, to facilitate the work of Poles in industrial and food service sector jobs. The director of the agency, Jan Starzyk, said, “Acting on the French market of temporary work for several years, and tracking political and economic trends, we decided to be the first Polish company to open a French agency…the temporary work market has experienced continuous growth in customer interest from French employers (interested) in Polish workers.” He added that, as a result of the agency’s presence in France, Polish workers, who had positions such as welders, mechanics and cooks, would have better access to benefits such as sick leave. “(For French customers), the ties with Polish workers make our offer more attractive, due to the high demand for Polish temporary workers and employees; Poles are treated on a par with French workers." Additionally, Starzyk indicated that he felt that the link with the French bank would simplify administrative procedures and give the agency a competitive advantage in France.
