Czech employment agencies face ban of non-EU nationals

As of 2012, Czech employment agencies will not be allowed to find work for non-EU nationals in move to fight exploitation

Large manufacturing and high-tech industries may face labor shortages as a result of an amendment to the labor law prohibiting employment agencies from placing non-EU national in jobs. Large manufacturers in the Czech Republic often rely upon such agencies to provide qualified laborers from outside the EU on a temporary basis, whom they are unwilling to employ directly.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, which says the measure is necessary to counter exploitation, says the new measure will affect only the 1,500 non-EU nationals currently on the books of employment agencies. The agencies, however, say the measure will lead to a shortfall of manpower in the manufacturing sector.

“To hire people from us is still more advantageous for many firms than to take them on as their own employees. The law will not force employers to take these people into their own workforces and the foreigners will end up on the street,” Jaroslava Rezlerová, president of the Association of Personnel Services Providers and head of the Czech branch of US firm Manpower — the largest employment agency in the country — told the daily Hospodářské noviny (HN).

The amendment is expected to affect first and foremost larger high-tech manufacturers such as the Panasonic television plant in Plzeň, western Bohemia, where personnel requirements fluctuate seasonally and which hires temporary workers from agencies to fill gaps. In Panasonic’s case, the temporary workers are largely highly qualified IT specialists, many of whom are recruited from Ukraine and other former Soviet states.

The ministry admits a minor shortfall in skilled labor may arise as a result of the new rule, but says it has taken measures to minimize this eventuality. “That risk will be offset by the fact that work permits in these cases [of those currently in temporary employment] will be valid until their expiry date [irrespective of the amendment],” ministry spokeswoman Táňa Švrčková told HN.

Otherwise, Czech law stipulates that temporary work permits for non-EU nationals expire upon the termination of a work contract. “Such are the rules: those for whom there isn’t work must leave. We believe the labor ministry has taken the right steps,” Tomáš Haišman, head of the Czech foreign ministry’s department of asylum and migration policy, told the daily.

There are currently more than 256,000 non-EU nationals living in the Czech Republic legally.
