As recently announced by the Ministry of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance, the following amendments to Social Insurance Regulations will enter into force on 13 September 2021:

1. The application for registration of an employer should be submitted no later than one (1) day prior to the date that the applicant is expected to become an employer.

2. Each employer should notify the Social Insurance Services for each employee recruitment no later than one (1) day before the particular recruitment.

The notification of new recruitments will be made only electronically through the Information System “ERGANI”, found at https://ergani.mlsi.gov.cy.

It is noted that as from 13 September 2021, the issuance and use of the “Certificate of commencement of employment” will be abolished.

3. Each employer must keep a recruitment register, in which they must record personal information for each employee (serial number, name, ID card number, Social Security number, date of recruitment and date of commencement of employment).

M. Target Group specialists remain at your disposal for any further information or assistance with the registration to ‘ERGANI’ system.
