The employer, the employee and the State all contribute to social insurance
(6.3%, 6.3% and 4% respectively). The social insurance requirement applies to
all persons working in Cyprus. When you start work in Cyprus you will begin to
pay contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.
Participation in social insurance gives the possibility of benefit cover for
contingencies such as unemployment, sickness, maternity, occupational disease,
disability and death etc. And, of course, it facilitates pensions for the
self-employed, the old-age pension and the survivor’s pension.
