Targeted inspections on a Cyprus-wide basis in hotel units will be carried out in July by the Inspection Service of the Ministry of Labor and Social Insurance, in the context of the effort to combat undeclared work and the control of compliance with basic labor laws.
The purpose of the campaign, according to a statement from the Ministry of Labour, "is to raise the awareness of all those involved in the economic activities in question regarding the consequences of undeclared work and non-compliance with the provisions of the relevant legislation".
At the same time, it is reported that checks will be carried out regarding the observance of basic employment conditions (salary, working hours, weekly off, etc.).
It is also stated that in accordance with the provisions of the relevant legislation, in case of detection of an undeclared person in the Social Insurance Fund, an administrative fine of €500 multiplied by 7 months is issued, unless it is proven by the employer that the period of violation was shorter and it is added that in if it is proven that the violation period was longer, the fine is multiplied by the actual months.
The Ministry of Labor states that anonymous/named complaints/information regarding undeclared work or violation of employment conditions are accepted on the Cyprus national telephone line 77778577.
