hello

I just want to know what is the minimum wage in Cyprus and what is the frequency of salary (weekly, monthly) ?

THANKS.

It all depends on what the job is...

Most office type work is paid monthly but the amount of salary varies from job to job and also between individual employers.

This paragraph taken from the Dept of Labour site may be of some assistance:
IX. Pay [Article 3(1)(c) of the Directive]
In accordance with the Law on Minimum Wage (Chap. 183), which applies to clerks, shop assistants, child-care workers (assistant baby and child minders) and personal care workers (nursing aids), an Order is issued on a yearly basis revising the minimum wage. The last Order was enforced on 1 April 2006, and revised the minimum wage as follows:
The minimum monthly wage was increased to CYP 384 on appointment and CYP 408 after completing a six-month period, as from 1 April 2006.

Wages for the remaining professions are agreed through collective agreements, or directly between the employer and employee.

More information can be found on the website of the Department of Labour Relations:

Take a look at the FAQ's on that site too.

There is also a booklet available from the Government Job Centres entitled Living and Working in Cyprus. A guide to European Citizens who want to work in Cyprus.

And haven't gone up much since .

Some of the salaries offered in Cyprus are absolutly rubbish.

Not worth getting out of bed for unless you are really desperate .

From what I've seen "Some" means "Most", regardless of experience and qualifications.

Bill,
I suppose that's all ok - as long as you don't have to actually bother getting out of bed But, for those who do need to work, not getting out of bed isn't really an option

I just took on a new job this week with a starting salary of €1100pm for 30hrs a week.
