From July 2024, more businesses in Greece can enforce a six-day workweek for employees, particularly in specific industries or with excessive workloads.
Employees working in selected industries could see their 40-hour workweek extended to 48 hours, triggering concerns over labor rights and the potential impact on work-life balance.
Despite offering additional pay for the sixth day of work, concerns remain among Greek workers, especially the younger generation, who prioritize health and work-life balance.
Greek economists highlight that the productivity of working hours is a major challenge for the economy, influenced by factors like limited technological investments, skilled labor shortages, and bureaucratic obstacles.
