The Greek Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, Kostis Hatzidakis, will visit Cyprus on Tuesday 18 October, following an invitation by the Minister of Labour and Social Insurance of Cyprus Kyriacos Koushos.
According to a press release by the Ministry of Labour, the Greek Minister of Labour and Social Affairs will be accompanied by a group of high-level officials in order to define the technical capabilities/applications of the ERGANI II system over the next two days and subsequently to proceed with the relevant decisions and timetables for its gradual implementation.
It is recalled that on 30 September the two sides signed in Athens, in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy of Cyprus, Kyriacos Kokkinos, a Memorandum of Understanding, under which the know-how of the ERGANI II information system, which is considered one of the most advanced systems in the labour market, is granted.
It is a software application that can monitor in real time all flows of salaried labour and offers the possibility of recording basic terms of employment, such as salary, working hours, weekly working days, etc.
It is noted that this application thus provides the opportunity for competent inspectors to monitor the labour market, but also for the workers themselves to monitor their compliance with the terms of their employment directly through the system, without having to visit the District Offices of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance.
The aim of the cooperation is to protect labour rights, combat undeclared and under-declared work and strengthen the workforce in Cyprus by adopting good practices from Greece, the press release concludes.
