In particular, according to the information, the company will be required to pay 800 euros to each employee who does not pay for three years and to his company from 1,800 to 8,000 euros depending on its size.
In more detail, companies that do not pay the three-year conditions will pay €800 for each employee who does not fulfill the three-year conditions and the following fines:
a. In a company/employer employing between 1 and 10 employees in a regulated workplace, the total fine per violation is up to EUR 1,800.00 for very high violations.
B. In a company/employer employing between 11 and 20 employees in a regulated workplace, the total fine for each violation is set at €2,000.00 for very high violations.
C. In a company/employer employing between 21 and 50 employees in a regulated workplace, the total fine for each violation is set at €3,000.00 for very high violations.

F. In a company/employer employing 251 or more employees in a regulated workplace, the total fine for each violation is set at €8,000.00 for very high violations.
Therefore, a company that does not apply the three-year period to two employees and the company employs a total of 10 employees will be required to pay a fine of €1,600 for the two employees and €1,800 for non-payment, thus making a total of €3,400.
Labor Minister Adonis Georgiadis confirmed that the three-year terms are completely mandatory and apply as of 1/1/24. According to the minister, the first beneficiaries will be 100,000, while about 700,000 will benefit in the first three years.
He also explained that the salaries of each employee are available on the ERGANI website and their previous service can be viewed, so everything will be electronic. If the company does not implement it and the employee files a complaint, we will see this in the electronic system and the Labor Inspectorate will automatically impose fines.
The three years apply to workers who pay the minimum wage to full-time and part-time workers on a pro-rata basis.
That is, a full-time employee who will conclude a three-year contract in 2024 will receive a 10% increase, reaching 780 euros, that is, an increase of 78 euros per month or 1,092 euros per year for 14 salaries. Therefore, a part-time employee with a contract of 390 euros for 4 hours of work, if he has three years in 2024, will receive an increase of 39 euros.
The most profitable are employees who receive the minimum wage and will complete three years during 2024, when they will benefit from an annual increase of up to 1,092 euros.
But holders of a sectoral, operational, or even individual contract without receiving the seniority bonus stipulated in their contract due to the “freeze,” or due to the expiration of the contract, were not renewed and were converted to individual without the seniority bonus in the new salary, who also benefits.
