Authorities have renewed their pledge to resolve a pay row affecting around 50 expatriate employees of a construction firm.

This follows a new appeal by a migrants’ welfare society to help the employees of G P Zachariades (GPZ) Civil Engineering and Contractors...

engineers, security guards and labourers have reportedly been illegal for the past two years...

In the past it has received funds owed by the government which was used to pay the employees, in co-ordination with the Labour and Social Development Ministry.
