Implementing Employee Capital Plans and offering them to every employee is mandatory for every company, as prescribed by law in Poland!!!
HR (or rather, the People's Team) in Poland is a complete joke.
If Sabre could eliminate the mainframe then they could finally achieve their goal to fire everyone in the US and move the headquarters to Poland, India, or wherever.
Yippee for the Pollacks
I guess that's one reason not to offshore all the Sabre jobs. Sabre pays a bit more to get US workers with less rights. Same as how with contractors you pay more for almost no rights.
The US labor laws su-k compared to Poland!
"Guarantee of ensuring 11 hours of uninterrupted rest"
Wow. Cushy. In the US we do what needs to be done, whatever it takes, and if you don't like that then you can quit or be fired. We also don't get paid overtime in the US.
Imagine you're interviewing for a job, and you mention during the interview, "I don't think alcohol in the office" as if it's a noteworthy point (drinking alcohol in the workplace is illegal in Poland).
Ex-Sabre Poland here.
What the heck is this about?
I don't understand the purpose of this thread.
What do you want to say?
This prize is mostly about the high percentage of employees who decided to participate in the ECP. Basically, the government gives recognition to companies to show that they have implemented a good program for retirement savings.
For me, there was nothing exceptional about how Sabre introduced the ECP. There was some information about what it is, a meeting with an expert from an outside company who explained the rules. However, Sabre only gives the lowest contribution required by law (1.5%), while the ECP allows and encourages companies to give up to 4% (which could be based on years of employment, for example). But Sabre always provides only the bare minimum.
The prize about adoption should go to employees because they are smart. Informing about the program is not really special. An employee, by default, is participating in the ECP unless they resign. So not informing employees about this could even lead to a higher participation rate.
But my post wasn't about that.
It was about the fact that following the law and giving the bare minimum is a part of the employee benefits provided by the company.
And to better illustrate how ridiculous Sabre HR is, you can check the career page on the Sabre website. In job descriptions in Poland, you will find this:
"Employee Capital Plans: profit from a long-term savings scheme co-financed by Sabre and the State Treasury."
It is just following the laws.
But if you think it's okay to include it, you should also include in the benefits in job descriptions:
The last one would be especially a good idea to include because even though employers are required to give 11 hours of uninterrupted rest, Sabre does not always respect this when people have on-call duty.
I suggest first reading and understanding the purpose and rules of the OiPP program (https://www.mojeppk.pl/dla-pracodawcy/odpowiedzialny-pracodawca.html), rather than starting with mocking. The program does not reward companies that simply fulfill their obligations but those that actively engage in the implementation process and can provide evidence of their involvement. Personally, I believe that the implementation of the Employee Capital Plans (PPK) at Sabre was done very well, and as an employee, I was well informed about the consequences and how to opt out. Everyone may have a different opinion on this matter, but certainly, implementing PPK should not be equated with receiving recognition from OiPP. Any doubts should be directed to the organizers of OiPP rather than making a mountain out of a molehill. End of discussion.
