Greece starts six-day working week for some industries
ShareShareShareShareShare

A spokeswoman for Greece’s ministry of labour and social security said the policy applied to “two specific types of businesses”.

  • Businesses that operate continuously, 24 hours, seven days a week, using rotating shifts

  • Businesses that operate 24 hours a day, five or six days a week, also with rotating shifts.

“In both cases, the extra working day option is an exceptional measure, permissible only in response to increased workload,” a spokeswoman told the BBC.

“It is important to note that this measure does not affect in any way the established five-day working week mandated by law. Instead, it serves to address urgent operational demands that cannot be met through the available supply of specialised workers.”

The Greek government added that the new regulations would also protect workers against “under-declared or undeclared work and ensure fair compensation”.

The global financial crisis of the late 2000s had a devastating effect on Greece, as the legacy of high public spending and widespread tax evasion left the country with crippling debts.

Mr Mitsotakis has been credited with successfully returning the economy to growth after the crisis forced Greece to seek three international bailouts.

But when it comes to working patterns, Greece appears to be moving in the opposite direction to other nations.

Since the Covid pandemic companies have been embracing flexible working models and many have trialled four-day weeks, with staff seeing no loss in wages.

Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were deemed an “overwhelming success” and led to many workers moving to shorter hours, according to researchers, which claimed productivity remained the same or improved in the majority of workplaces.
