Employment Law · · 5 min read · By Prastitis Law
The termination of an employment relationship in Cyprus is governed by a specific legislative framework, which provides rights and obligations for both employer and employee.
Notice of termination
As a rule, an employer intending to terminate employment must give a minimum period of notice, the length of which depends on the employee's length of service.
Lawful grounds for termination
The legislation sets out specific grounds on which termination is considered lawful. Termination outside those grounds may found a claim for compensation.
Redundancy
Redundancy is a separate category with its own conditions and procedure. Affected employees may be entitled to a payment from the Redundancy Fund.
Time limits
Claims arising from termination of employment are subject to time limits. Seeking legal advice promptly is important to preserve your rights.
Whether you are an employee facing termination or an employer planning a reorganisation, proper guidance in advance materially reduces the risk of disputes.
