Employer of Record FAQs in Greece
What is an Employer of Record in Greece?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Greece is an organization that serves as the legal employer for your Greek workforce, managing all employment obligations including contracts, payroll, IKA contributions, tax withholding, and compliance with Greek labor law. This enables you to employ staff in Greece without establishing your own legal entity.
How long does it take to hire employees in Greece through an EOR?
Asanify can onboard employees in Greece within 3-5 business days after candidate selection. This includes preparing compliant employment contracts, completing IKA registration, and setting up payroll—significantly faster than the several months required to establish a Greek subsidiary.
What are employer costs in Greece?
Greek employer costs include IKA contributions (approximately 24-25% of gross salary), plus other insurance and benefits obligations. Total employer costs typically add 26-28% to gross salaries. Greece also requires 14 monthly salaries annually (including Christmas, Easter, and vacation bonuses). Asanify provides detailed cost projections upfront.
What is the 14-salary system in Greece?
Greek employees are entitled to 14 monthly salaries per year: 12 regular monthly payments plus mandatory Christmas bonus (one month), Easter bonus (half month), and vacation bonus (half month). These bonuses are legally required and calculated as part of annual compensation. Asanify manages all bonus calculations and payments automatically.
Does using an EOR in Greece create permanent establishment risk?
A properly structured EOR arrangement helps minimize permanent establishment risk. Asanify serves as the legal employer with authority over employment matters. However, PE risk depends on multiple factors including your business activities in Greece. We recommend consulting with tax advisors regarding your specific circumstances.
What employee benefits are mandatory in Greece?
Mandatory benefits in Greece include IKA social security (covering healthcare and pensions), 14 monthly salaries annually, paid annual leave (minimum 20 working days), public holidays, sick leave, and maternity/paternity leave. Collective bargaining agreements may require additional benefits. Asanify ensures compliance with all statutory and sector-specific requirements.
How does Greek payroll processing work through an EOR?
Asanify processes monthly payroll in EUR, calculating gross-to-net salaries including mandatory bonuses, withholding income tax, and remitting IKA contributions and other statutory payments to Greek authorities. Employees receive detailed Greek-language payslips, and you receive consolidated invoicing for all costs.
Can I terminate employees in Greece through an EOR?
Yes, Asanify manages compliant terminations according to Greek labor law, which includes strong employee protections. Terminations require proper justification, advance notice (2 weeks to 4 months based on tenure), and potentially severance payments. We ensure all legal procedures are followed to minimize risk of disputes or claims.
What is IKA and how does Asanify handle it?
IKA (Institute for Social Insurance) is Greece’s primary social security system covering healthcare, pensions, and unemployment. Employers contribute approximately 24-25% of gross salary. Asanify handles complete IKA registration for new employees, calculates and remits monthly contributions, and manages all ongoing compliance reporting with Greek social security authorities.
