Margin up to Passion Wednesday April 12 employers – business must pay Easter gift to all private sector workers, while about 600,000 employees with minimal salaryfrom 04/01/2023 its increase to 780 euros will also increase the Easter gift to 406.24 euros from 371.35 euros, which was in the case of a reward from 713 euros.

Such as explains “K” first-class accountant – tax technician, CEO of NAF Accountant.tax.consulting Nikolaos Fragiadakis, the main condition for receiving the Easter Gift is that the employees work for the employer under a contract of employment from January 1 to April 30 of each year, and it cannot exceed half the wages for employees or 15 days’ wages for daily workers. Of course, if the employee does not work for the entire specified period, then a part of the Gift is paid to him.

The ratio is defined as 1/15 of half a month’s salary or one day’s salary (depending on the worker’s pay method) for every 8 days of employment. For a period of less than 8 days, the corresponding Gift is calculated in fractions.

The calculation of the Easter Gift does not include days of absence of the employee for unreasonable reasons, days of unpaid leave, days of strike and downtime, days of illness during which the employee was subsidized from the insurance fund, and days when the employment contract was suspended.

On the contrary, the days include sick days during which the employee is not subsidized, including three days, days of maternity leave and caesarean section (119 days), and, as court practice shows, days of overtime work are also included.

Part-time or shift workers include:

Workers employed under a part-time contract, i.e. 4 hours a day they are paid an Easter gift as full-time employees, but reduced due to a decrease in wages. Workers with fewer days but full-time (shift) are entitled to 1 day’s wages for 6.5 days of work.

Employees with fewer days but also fewer hours are entitled to 1 day’s wage for 6.5 working days, but reduced due to the reduction in wages. If the remuneration of an employee of a specific case is not established, then the average remuneration is taken for the correct calculation of the Gift.
