Greece - Seasonal tourism employees covered by new bill - May 31, 2020

Seasonal employees in tourism and transport, who were forced out of a job due to COVID-19, will have the right to be re-hired for the current period, according to a revised bill presented by the Greek labour ministry. Under the new legislation, seasonal operations will be able to suspend contracts for their employees between June 1 and September 9, 2020.

Employees in the programme will be entitled to a benefit of €534 and insurance contributions will be covered by the state.
