The Ministry of Labour's Inspection Service in targeted inspections carried out on a nationwide basis in October in the education sector identified six undeclared self-employed, one undeclared employer and 15 undeclared employees and issued 17 Notices of Violation and 17 Penalty Deeds amounting to €14.600.
According to an announcement of the Service transmitted by the GVP, the infringements were detected after checks were carried out at 220 premises, of which 104 employers and 116 self-employed workers were identified. The total number of workers detected was 429 (64 men and 365 women) of which 387 were Greek Cypriots, 32 European Union citizens and 10 third country nationals.
The aim of the campaign was to raise awareness among all those employed in these economic activities about the consequences of undeclared work and non-compliance with the provisions of the relevant legislation, the statement said.
It is noted that, according to the provisions of the relevant Legislation, if an undeclared person is detected in the Social Security Fund, an administrative fine of €500 multiplied by seven months is issued, unless it is proven by the employer that the period of violation was shorter. If it is proven that the period of violation was longer, the fine is multiplied by the actual months.
It is reminded that anonymous/anonymous complaints/information in connection with undeclared work or violation of the terms of employment are accepted on the nationwide telephone line 77778577.
