Seminar on Employment Law

The necessity to monitor and act on legislation is of constant importance and even more so when it involves our employees.


Continuously, legislative changes are enacted that affect companies and their staff operating in Cyprus.


Focusing on the legislation On Telecommuting, On Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions and the latest on Work Leave and Flexible Working for Work-Life Balance we shed light on the legislation and where applicable on the latest changes .


We hope that the seminar will act as a discussion forum for the said legislation as well as any other current legal questions that Members may have in their day-to-day operations on HR matters.


Join us on Tuesday, December 12th, together with our members and contributors, George Z. Georgiou & Associates LLC and Pyrgou Vakis LLC .
