Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus

I think what they need to do is just start thinking in Euros, if that is the currency they are using. I think what you got is poverty wages, in such an expensive country. 54 hours a week, boy I...

Re: Minimum Wage Rate in Cyprus

Now is that 400 Cypress Pounds weekly or biweekly? I know that the Cypress pound is stronger than the British Pound, so it might still be decent money.
