Employees that fall sick do not require a sick note if absent from work for three working days or less. Under Cypriot law, for the first 3 days of sick absence, no payment is made. Following the 3 days of sick leave, a sick note must be obtained by a doctor whereby employees can receive sick leave payments by the Ministry of Labour, Welfare and Social Insurance. Furthermore, if an employee is absent for over 26 weeks due to being ill, the employer has a legal right to terminate the employment on this basis.
