Photographers:
Inspections were carried out in 40 establishments, where 23 employers and 17 self-employed workers were identified. The total number of workers identified was 38 (24 men and 14 women). In detail, 29 were Greek Cypriots, eight were citizens of the European Union and one was a foreigner from a third country.
One undeclared employee was detected. An infringement notice and an act imposing a fine of €500 were issued.
Florists:
Checks were carried out in 52 establishments, where 25 employers and 27 self-employed workers were identified. The total number of workers identified was 42 (14 men and 28 women). In detail, 32 were Greek Cypriots, six were citizens of the European Union and four were foreigners from third countries.
All of them were registered in the Social Security system. No infringement notice was issued and no fine was imposed.
Marriage and Christening Services:
Checks were carried out in 47 establishments, where 34 employers and 13 employees were found. The total number of workers identified was 178 (100 men and 78 women). In detail, 103 were Greek Cypriots, 50 were citizens of the European Union and 25 were foreigners from third countries.
14 undeclared workers were detected. Seven infringement notices were issued and seven acts imposing a fine of €21,000.
The aim of the campaign was to raise awareness among all those employed in these economic activities of the consequences of undeclared work and non-compliance with the provisions of the relevant legislation.
It should be 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 recalled that the nationwide telephone line 77778577 accepts anonymous/anonymous complaints/information in connection with undeclared work or violation of the terms of employment.
