Commencement of Operation of the ERGANI Information System

09 Sep Commencement of Operation of the ERGANI Information System

We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Labor, Welfare, and Social Insurance has recently announced that from the 13th of September 2021 the “ERGANI “Information System will enter into force.

With the new system, employers will be able to register as employers electronically but also to register their employees.

The main amendments are the following:

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

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

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.)

The notification of new recruitments will be done only electronically through the Information System “ERGANI”, which can be found via the website https://ergani.mlsi.gov.cy. Relevant information on the operation and terms of use of the system are available on this website.

In addition, the Ministry has appointed Communication Officers at each District Social Security Office for further information and assistance.

It should be noted that from the 13th of September 2021 the issuance and use of the “CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT” (hard copy in paper form) will no longer be valid.
