Easily manage employment in Cyprus

Employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause is established, such as dishonesty, negligence, fraud, or any other work-related offences.

Like its severance obligations, notice periods in Cyprus depend on how long an employee has worked with the employer.

• 26 – 51 weeks of employment: 1 weeks’ notice
• 52 - 103 weeks of employment: 2 weeks’ notice
• 104 - 155 weeks of employment: 4 weeks’ notice
• 156 - 207 weeks of employment: 5 weeks’ notice
• 208 - 259 weeks of employment: 6 weeks’ notice
• 260 - 311 weeks of employment: 7 weeks’ notice
• 312 weeks and above: 8 weeks’ notice

In Cyprus, severance pay entitlements are calculated based on an employee’s tenure with the employing organisation, ranging across:

• 2 weeks’ pay: employment for up to 4 years
• 2.5 weeks’ pay: employment for 5 to 10 years
• 3 weeks’ pay: employment for 11 to 15 years
• 3.5 weeks’ pay: employment for 16 to 20 years
• 4 weeks’ pay: employment for over 20 years

Probation periods cannot exceed 6 months.
