Notice & Demand: templates and forms

The letter by which an employee in Cyprus resigns and ends the employment contract. It states the notice in weeks and the last working day, asks for the sums due with the final pay and for a certificate of employment, and leaves room for the employer to sign for receipt. Under the Termination of Employment Law the employee owes less notice than the employer: one week after 26 weeks' service, two after 52 and three after 260, and none during probation.

The letter in which an employee in Greece resigns: date of hiring, job, last working day, and a request to settle pay, leave and bonuses and to issue a certificate of employment. Since Law 5239/2025 the resignation that counts is the declaration in ERGANI II within four working days, and the employee may file it personally in myErgani, with no co-signature from the employer. The letter is the dated proof of the decision.

The written notice by which a tenant of a home in Cyprus ends the tenancy: under the lease's break clause, with the notice an open-ended tenancy requires, at the end of the agreed term, or as an offer to end it by agreement where the lease gives no other way out. It sets the end date and the date the home is handed back, asks for the deposit to be returned to a bank account, and is sent by registered post or by hand, so that what was sent and when can be proved.

A written demand by an employee or former employee in Cyprus to the employer for wages that have not been paid: the job, the salary, the unpaid periods and the amount owed, with seven days to pay into a bank account, the documents attached and a request for a written reply within 14 days. It warns that, if unpaid, a written complaint to the Department of Labour Relations under the Protection of Wages Law and a claim before the Labour Disputes Court will follow, or, above two years' wages, before the District Court, for which it is also the letter of claim the Civil Procedure Rules require. It is sent by registered post or by hand.

The written notice in which an employee in Cyprus tells the employer they are off sick: from when, until when the absence is expected to last, which doctor is issuing the medical certificate and whether it is enclosed or will follow. It promises no pay for the first three days, for which no sickness benefit is paid, and asks for it only if the employment contract or a collective agreement provides for it. From the fourth day, sickness benefit is paid by Social Insurance.

The written notice in which an employee in Greece tells the employer they are off sick: from when, until when the absence is expected to last, which doctor is issuing the certificate and on what phone number they can be reached. The employer must be told at once, by any means, and the written notice proves when it was done. No paper certificate is enclosed: the doctor issues it electronically through the state e-prescription system run by IDIKA, and only electronic ones count. For the first three days the employer owes half pay (Greek Civil Code arts. 657–658).

The out-of-court notice (εξώδικη δήλωση) in which an employee in Greece calls on the employer to pay overdue wages and declares that work is withheld under art. 325 of the Greek Civil Code from a set date: the periods, the amount in words, the IBAN. While a lawful withholding lasts, the employer owes pay as if work continued. A court bailiff serves it, and the bailiff's report of service proves what was said and when — which is what counts at the Labour Inspectorate and in court.
