Germany is considered to be the country with the most powerful economy in Europe, which is reflected in the standard of living of its population. That is why many labor migrants seek to move and find work in Germany. It is noteworthy that the country is not trying to close itself off from the flow of workers, as the UK and France do, but rather actively attracts foreign workers.
Ukrainian immigrants who have been granted temporary protection in Germany can work officially without any issues. If they have arrived in Germany on the basis of a biometric passport or visa and have been granted refugee status, they cannot work without first obtaining a work permit, which can be done at the Foreigners' Registration Office. When issuing a residence permit, the Foreigners' Registration Office will also make a note that the person is allowed to engage in paid work, even if they don't have a specific job yet. No other work permits are necessary.
Furthermore, according to Volume III of the Social Code SGB III, persons who have been granted temporary protection in Germany are entitled to receive counseling and employment assistance from employment agencies.
Officially, German law enforcement agencies recommend getting a job under a contract and having a permit, which Ukrainians receive upon registration at the Rathaus (city council). However, illegal work is punishable with fines for violating labor laws and for unjustified receipt of social assistance, if applicable.
Salaries in Germany vary greatly depending on the region, field of activity, and position. On average, in Berlin, you can earn from 23,500 to 112,000 euros per year (about 77,000 to 365,000 hryvnias per year). In Munich, vacancies are offered with salaries ranging from 11.55 to 50 euros per hour (about 375 to 1,600 hryvnias per hour). Meanwhile, Hamburg offers salaries from 12.50 to 85 euros per hour (about 405 to 2,765 hryvnias per hour).
