Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
Hi,
I am doing some research in bringing some business to Cyprus where I will want to hire native English speaking people who would want to make some extra money while living in Cyprus. The kind of work would be basically book-keeping like Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivables. Previous experience would be of advantage but not necessary as training would be provided. Could you please tell me what is the going minimum weekly/monthly wage rate for clerical jobs?
Other question is, are there enough native English expatriates in Cyprus to expect a good response?
Could someone tell me where would be the highest concentration of British expats living in Cyprus. I think this is where probably I would find a good pool of native English speaking who would be also looking to make some extra money by the side.
Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
Minimum wage is a joke here, i got 400cyp for working a 54 hours a week!!
There are plenty of expats all over the island. Paralimini has a large population of english natives, as does Larnaca and Limassol.
Try targeting areas around private English schools. There are lots of Mums who are unable to work because of the lack of child care, but would gladly work for a bit of extra cash if they could. Part time jobs just don't exist.

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
Your right there!
there is part time work if you don't mind working unsociable hours and for a pittance.
I worked part time for 3 months and eventually didn't get paid anything just lots of promises.
Ive been looking for a decent job for 2 years.
.
If as a company you offer a reasonable wage with good hours then people will jump at your job offer!

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
I believe the best place to find ex-pat workers would be Paphos, many English desperate for decent wage and working conditions here. It is true that the Cypriots will pay as little as they can get away with, it's definitely one rule for them an another for everyone else. There is a legal minimum wage here but it only applies to Cypriots. Most jobs have very low wages for foriengers. Plus it's hard to get jobs in local businesses if you don't speak Greek. I would advise anyone thinking about moving to Cyprus to start a business to think again, the locals don't like foriengers owning businesses and will do all they can to make your life difficult, which is why so many ex-pats are leaving.
Depends on what your business is and how competitive you are because everybody likes a good deal even the greek cypriots

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
I don't think that you will have any problems finding native British speakers wanting to earn some extra money. Cyprus is really expensive now given the exchange rate and many of us are struggling so just post an ad when you are ready and I bet you will not believe the response. Paphos has a huge ex-pat population

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus
That was a few years ago now, the Cyp pound no longer exists, its all euro's now.
What seems to be happening is, that people are still using the Cyp pound to do conversions. So, people import goods into Cyprus, use the GBP price, then convert to old CPY pound and then to Euro. What should be happening is a straight conversion from GBP to Euro. This is whats making things so expensive.
The salaries haven't really gone up any to compensate. Everyone is finding the island very expensive now for holidays and for general living.
