Subsidy of 534 euros for employees who remain suspended and in May | GREECE

Those who remain suspended will receive a bonus of 534 euros for the month of May.

Employers of companies that have closed with a government mandate or are financially affected can extend the suspension of contracts, but not more than 60%, with the allocation received by those who remain unemployed, reaching 534 euros. However, the employer will be obliged to keep the jobs with the existing contracts with the suspended personnel, while if more than 60% of the personnel are suspended, he will have to pay the amount himself.

There is also the possibility that an employer may revoke the suspension of its employees before the end of May, as the companies will gradually open within a month. In such case, the employee will receive proportionally the amount corresponding to the days he was suspended. The suspension can be suspended as long as the employee is suspended for at least 15 days, while the employer can also cancel the suspension for “urgent reasons and undifferentiated needs.” You can do it through a special form at PS Ergani.

In fact, it has not been ruled out that this measure can be extended until June as long as necessary, something that the Minister of Labor, Giannis Vroutsis, highlighted at the press conference of the Ministries of Labor, Economy and Development.

The three co-responsible ministers announced a total package of 24 billion measures to restart the economy.
