In Greece, the Christmas bonus for private sector employees must be paid by December 20, 2024. Many employers choose to pay earlier, typically from mid-week onwards. Employees can calculate their bonus through an online application. The bonus equals one month’s salary for full-time workers or 25 daily wages for hourly workers. Specific calculation rules apply, taking into account employment duration, absences, and unemployment benefits. The 2024 bonus is higher due to a rise in the minimum wage effective April 1.
