Student: Students easier to work, employers to "cheap" labor force
Student life in BiH has become expensive. In order to facilitate their parents, students often choose to occasionally do some jobs that can come with education. In these cases, seek the help of student services that are intermediaries in the employment of these categories, and over which are paid royalties earned.
To be a member of the Student Services who works within the Student Centre Sarajevo, you need to have full-time status.
"Full-time students can work occasional and temporary jobs, which excludes the possibility that you work systematized work of selected companies. The contract with the employer shall be submitted to the student service who will be making payments of money, and we then paid to the account of the student. The percentage that is taken from 10 to 12 percent, "said Emir Kadric, director of the Public Student Center Sarajevo.
Law on Student Standard to protect students
Kadri says that is not satisfied with the service because there is no legislation that would regulate the price of labor so that students are protected from exploitation.
"Today there are close to 40 student services in Sarajevo, and that nowhere in the world does. The principle is one university - one service. If you had a law on student standards, it would determine the price of labor, and the service is obliged to collect and to protect him of accidents at work. I'm afraid you some services not 'wash' money by engaging students, and employers pay 10 to 12 percent tax instead of 72 percent, "said Kadri.
The employer was acquitted of all charges except to pay taxes on the amount disbursed fees. Student service is ideal for students who want to earn. Jobs are different, and how Kadrić points out, rarely anyone looking for intellectual work. There are mostly physical work such as cleaning, loading, stacking warehouse, etc. In Mostar summer more than winter demand.
"Basically these are the works of promotion and hard physical labor in the warehouses. In the summer, look for more in the field of tourism. However, there is great interest of students, but the company no longer have a great need for their engagement. We are not satisfied," we were told from the Student Services Index of Mostar.
The search for manual workers
In Sarajevo, demand similar. Most are looking for people who will do manual labor.
"Most students engage in promotional activities. We also had students who worked in administration, dispensation of bills, flyers and the like. We have many students who want to work but not enough jobs," they said in the Student Services Sarajevo.
They pointed out that they did not satisfied with the service. Kadri says that service does not work 10 percent compared to the period before the war.
"Very rarely mediate. The purpose of the student center was lost. I am desperate because this labor force is converted into cheap labor. I was a member of the working group that developed and submitted Draft Law on Student Standard in order to provide students with the treatment they deserve and to were protected, "said Kadri.
For these tasks students can earn 3-10 KM per hour, and for some cleaning jobs per diem is 25-30 KM. To become a member of the student services need to bring a copy of the identity card, CIPS, the confirmation that you are a regular student and a copy of the bank account.
