The case: the start of outstaffing activities in Ukraine

We were approached by a Client - contractor in terms of recruitment and provision of engineering personnel.

First of all, the Client understood that for successful work in Ukraine, he will need a fully functioning legal entity, the founder of which would be a European parent company.

The Client approached us because he needed a whole range of services:

• he needed advice on all aspects of outstaffing activities in Ukraine, its possibilities and nuances;

• after the consultation and clarification of all possible nuances, a particular legal entity had to be registered;

• the Client also needed assistance in dealing with a variety of legal issues arising from starting a business.

We recommended the option of outstaffing to the client - or rather its variations that are possible in Ukraine. This would give the opportunity to get the required personnel for the required period, on terms convenient for the client. Moreover, we undertook the process of personnel management of such a company - after all, the staff must be hired on legal terms, and all payments must be constantly monitored in accounting and legal matters.

What problems may arise in connection with outstaffing activities in Ukraine?

Unambiguous status of outstaffing in Ukraine. 

At present, outstaffing is not clearly regulated in Ukraine, which may cause some problems in the process of registration.

How we propose to solve this problem: on the basis of our experience and knowledge of Ukrainian legislation, we offer to develop a detailed contract on personnel services and the formation of appropriate applications for personnel. 

It is important to understand that in such a situation it is necessary to comply with the requirements both in terms of contractual registration, and in terms of labor organization.

Prohibition on outstaffing personnel to dangerous jobs.

Construction and commissioning of solar power plants, which is the direction of our Customer's work, refers to these.

How we propose to solve this problem: we offered to organize supervision without the physical presence of employees hired by our Client at the objects of high risk.

The Client has been successfully operating for more than six months with our legal help.
