National Mechanisms / Organisations working with Posted Workers - Cyprus

The Labour Inspectorate has an important role, as it is the authority that carries out the required inspections. Additionally, the Ministry of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism has the responsibility to coordinate IMI for the Cypriot authorities. IMI is the Internal Market Information system of the EU, which actually is a cross-border electronic exchange system of data and information on various aspects of the single market including the posting of workers.

Social partners do not have any special facility dealing the posting of workers. However, they may deal with posting of workers related issues on ad-hoc basis.

Purpose

The purpose of the Watchdog project and the online platform is to establish active mechanisms for control and monitoring of the posted workers’ rights across the EU via cooperation, exchange of knowledge and evidence-based approach of social partners, national labour inspections and European agencies.
