The Inspection Service of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance, in the context of the effort to combat undeclared work and control compliance with basic labour legislation, informs that during the month of December 2022 targeted inspections were carried out on a nationwide basis in slaughterhouses.
[*]Inspections were carried out in 2 establishments, where 10 employers were identified. The total number of workers identified was 109 (94 men and 15 women). In detail, 12 were Greek Cypriots, 6 were European Union citizens and 91 were foreigners from third countries. [*]All the workers identified were registered in the Social Security system. No infringement notice was issued.
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 7 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.
