The Warsaw Employment Office received a special government award

The highest special award in Poland from the Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology was received by the Labour Office of the Capital City of Warsaw for achieving the assumed indicators.

The Ministry of Labor and Technology Development awarded PLN 307,600 in special awards for achieving the assumed cost and employment efficiency indicators in 2019. It is worth recalling that just a few months ago, government representatives accused the Warsaw City Labor Office of being sluggish or even blocking support for entrepreneurs. The ministerial award is proof that things were completely different than they were trying to convince us. Just like in 2019, in 2020 it also managed to be effective in implementing the anti-crisis shield.

We paid out PLN 1 billion to entrepreneurs

It was in Warsaw that the largest number of applications were submitted in the whole of Poland – over 170 thousand, and the value of aid paid to entrepreneurs amounted to over PLN 1 billion. We have automated the system for processing applications under the anti-crisis shield on our own. Thanks to the connection with government resources, such as the National Court Register, the Central Registration and Information on Economic Activity or REGON data, we processed over 3 thousand applications every day.

We delegated 150 employees

In Warsaw, there are over 460 thousand companies registered that were eligible for support under the anti-crisis shield. This is over two and three times more than in other metropolises (Krakow – 142 thousand, Wroclaw – 120 thousand, Poznan – 111 thousand, Lodz – 90 thousand, Gdansk – 77.5 thousand).

The Warsaw Employment Office has fewer officials than, for example, Łódź, which is three times smaller. The Employment Office was responsible for processing applications by 73 people. The Warsaw City Office delegated 150 employees to help, along with computer equipment, for the purchase of which we allocated PLN 0.5 million from the city budget.

We also help the sanitary inspection office

This is not the only support of the Warsaw local government in the implementation of government tasks. Until the end of this year, approximately 40 employees of the Warsaw City Hall - as volunteers - will support the sanitary inspection in connection with the Covid-19 epidemic. The volunteers' help consists of telephone contact with people who are subject to quarantine and preparation of documentation necessary for referral to quarantine. The volunteers received a company phone and computer from the employer, and they work remotely, without the need to visit the sanitary inspection.
