Employment Law
Practical advice for employees and employers on contracts, workplace issues, dismissal and employment disputes in Cyprus. Employment law is a core area of our practice, supported by litigation experience and careful analysis of the evidence.
Employment contracts and workplace arrangements
We prepare and review employment agreements and advise on the legal questions arising from workplace arrangements. Clear provisions concerning duties, remuneration, working arrangements and termination can help both parties understand their position. We assess the proposed terms in the context of the particular employment relationship.
Dismissal, resignation and workplace disputes
We advise on dismissal, resignation, disciplinary matters and other disagreements arising during or after employment. Our assessment considers the contract, chronology, correspondence and the circumstances of the disputed decision. We explain the available options and the evidence needed before recommending a course of action.
Remuneration, commissions and employment claims
Disputes may involve salary, commissions, other payments or obligations connected with the employment relationship. We review the governing terms and payment records, identify what is disputed and consider the appropriate route for pursuing or responding to a claim. Potential remedies depend on the facts and applicable procedure.
Advice, negotiations and representation
We assist with correspondence, negotiations and representation in employment disputes where instructed. Workplace accidents may also require an assessment of a personal injury claim, which we consider separately where relevant. Tell us about any hearing, proposed termination or approaching deadline when first contacting our team.
Frequently asked questions
Can you advise both employers and employees?
Yes, in separate matters and subject to conflict checks. We confirm whom we represent and the scope of the engagement before acting.
What should I do if I have been dismissed?
Keep the termination notice, contract, payslips and relevant correspondence, and seek advice promptly. The appropriate response and any deadline depend on the circumstances.
Can unpaid commissions form part of a dispute?
They may, depending on the agreed terms and evidence. Provide the relevant contract, commission arrangements and payment records for assessment.
Can you assist following a workplace accident?
Yes. Our team can assess whether a personal injury claim or an employment-related issue arises. Preserve available records and obtain prompt advice after immediate medical needs have been addressed.
Discuss an employment matter
Contact our Limassol office to arrange an initial discussion. Please avoid sending sensitive documents before agreeing a suitable channel with our team. An enquiry does not by itself establish a lawyer–client relationship.
