Notice period calculator for Cyprus
An employer ending your job must give written notice. If you resign, you give notice too, but shorter.
Enter your start date and the date notice is given.
How it's calculated
- The law counts continuous employment in weeks. The obligation starts at 26 weeks.
- The employer gives 1 week from 26 weeks, 2 weeks from 52, 4 weeks from 104, 5 weeks from 156, 6 weeks from 208, 7 weeks from 260 and 8 weeks from 312 weeks.
- The employee gives 1 week from 26 weeks, 2 weeks from 52 and 3 weeks from 260 weeks.
- Pay for the notice period is a guide: monthly salary × 12 / 52 for each week of notice.
An example
After two years (104 weeks) with the same employer, your employer owes you 4 weeks' notice. If you leave, you give 2 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Can my employer pay me instead of giving notice?
Yes. Instead of asking you to work the notice, the employer can pay your wages for the notice you're entitled to.
Does notice apply during probation?
No, if the job was on probation for no more than 104 weeks. Probation longer than 26 weeks needs a written agreement made when you were hired.
Can I look for work during my notice?
Yes, if your employer agrees. You can be away up to eight hours a week, with a maximum of 40 hours, without losing pay.
