Hiring in Greece
By hiring in Greece, companies around the world are able to access a workforce that’s both highly skilled and cost-effective. But it’s important to understand Greece’s labor laws before expanding there. While Greece’s labor regulations were once relatively fragmented, they were consolidated and updated in 2025. The resulting Law 5239/2025 was codified by Presidential Decree 62/2025.
With this legislation now in effect, employers must have access to specialized, up-to-date knowledge to ensure they’re in compliance. With expert guidance on these regulatory issues, and cultural norms and hiring best practices, you can employ workers in Greece with confidence.
Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Greece
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Greece. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with Greece’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Greece.
The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
