The Inspection Service of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance, in the context of its efforts to combat undeclared work and control compliance with the Basic Labour Laws, informs that during the month of October 2022 targeted inspections were carried out on a nationwide basis in the education sector.
Inspections were carried out in 220 establishments, where 104 employers and 116 self-employed workers were identified. The total number of workers identified was 429 (64 men and 365 women). In detail, 387 were Greek Cypriots, 32 were European Union citizens and 10 were third country nationals.
Six undeclared self-employed persons, one undeclared employer and 15 undeclared employees were detected. 17 Notices of Violation and 17 Fines of €14,600 were issued.
The aim of the campaign was to raise awareness of the consequences of undeclared work and non-compliance with the provisions of the relevant legislation among all those employed in these economic activities.
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.
