What are the salary payment and increase policies in Greece?

In Greece, salary payments and increases follow specific guidelines to ensure fair compensation for employees.

  • Salary payment recurrence:
    Salaries are paid monthly, in line with standard practices in Greece.

  • Mandatory salary increase:
    Employees are entitled to a mandatory salary increase of at least 10% every 3-year period, up to a maximum of 9 years of employment. This salary increase requirement began on January 1, 2024.


This means that after every 3 years of employment, employees are entitled to a minimum of a 10% salary increase, ensuring regular and structured wage growth.
