Hoteliers reach agreement on pay rises

Hoteliers on Monday approved a mediating proposal to renew the collective agreement with their staff.

In a statement, the two associations, Pasyxe and Stek, said they put the agreement to their members during an extraordinary general meeting who approved it by majority vote.

The agreement provides for a pay rise of 5.5 per cent over four years starting in 2019.

Employers are also mandated to contribute to their staff’s welfare fund and starting in 2022, bank holiday pay will be double and on Sundays, workers will receive an extra 25 per cent on their daily wages.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
