Employment
Statutory minimum wage, sector agreements and digital work records
Employment law rests on statute and collective agreements, with a government-set minimum wage. Recent reforms introduced the ERGANI digital work card, tightening the recording of actual working hours.
Key rules
- The national minimum wage is fixed by ministerial decision after a consultation procedure.
- Termination of an indefinite contract requires written notice and statutory severance based on service.
- Working time and overtime must be declared in the ERGANI information system.
Governing law
- Act 4808/2021 on the protection of labour
- Act 1876/1990 on free collective bargaining
In practice
Failure to register a hire in ERGANI before work begins is treated as undeclared work and attracts heavy administrative fines.
