In March, the Cyprus Labour Inspection Service conducted 227 inspections across various sectors to identify cases of undeclared employment. The campaign targeted 104 cleaning and security companies employing 189 people, resulting in the discovery of 8 undeclared workers and the issuance of 6 fines totaling €18,500. Additionally, 123 inspections were performed in office and service companies involving 578 employees, where 4 undeclared workers were found, leading to 4 fines totaling €10,000. In total, the ministry issued 10 penalty notices amounting to €28,500 for the identified violations. The initiative aimed to enhance compliance with labour legislation and social insurance obligations. Under current Cypriot law, administrative fines for undeclared employment begin at €1,000 per worker per month, with potential increases for repeated offenses within a two-year period.
