A significant and rising development in the private working sector of the Republic of Cyprus is remote working. This trend has become particularly prominent following the impact of COVID-19. Whether on a full-time or hybrid basis, or simply for matters of convenience or emergencies, remote working arrangements are in high demand.

There are various reasons why both employees and employers may desire to adopt remote working practices. This could be to avoid costs, to benefit from tax and social security incentives, participate in national initiatives promoting the business of a particular industry or purely wishing to work in a much more attractive climate like Cyprus.

On account of the increasing interest in remote working in Cyprus, an entirely new initiative has been introduced with the enactment of the Law on Remote Working or otherwise the Remote Working Law of 2023 (Law 120(I)/2023). The initiative aims to regulate remote working in Cyprus and safeguard

Employment Settlement Agreements In Cyprus

Employment settlements in Cyprus can resolve workplace disputes, but the terms require careful scrutiny before acceptance. Understanding what you are actually being paid, which claims you are releasing, and what obligations will follow your departure can mean the difference between a fair resolution and an agreement that leaves important rights unprotected or imposes unexpected restrictions on your future employment.

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers.

It is worth asking whether the adoption levels were however a failure of design, or a reflection of Member States reaching different conclusions about their risk exposures.
