Labour Ministry to conduct September inspections targeting illegal industrial employment
The Labour Ministry will carry out nationwide inspections in September to address undeclared work and employment regulation breaches in the industrial sector.
Nicosia, Cyprus. The Labour Ministry announced on Thursday that it will conduct nationwide inspections throughout September to combat illegal employment in the industrial sector.
The campaign will focus on undeclared work and compliance with employment rules, including minimum wage, working hours and days off.
Fines for undeclared employment
The ministry said employers found to have undeclared workers will face an administrative fine of €1,000 for each employee for the month in which the offence is detected.
The fine will rise to €2,000 for a repeated offence within two years and to €3,000 for a third offence.
Where non-compliance is found to have continued for longer than one month, the fine will be multiplied by the actual number of months involved.
Reporting violations
The ministry reiterated that the Cyprus-wide helpline 77778577 accepts anonymous and named complaints and reports concerning undeclared employment and violations of employment contracts.
