As of July 1st, Greece has introduced a new set of labour laws enabling specific sectors to expand to a six-day working week to boost employment and productivity. This shift allows for a transition from a 40-hour workweek to a 48-hour workweek, offering employees the option to work an additional two hours per day or an extra eight-hour day.
The legislation applies specifically to private businesses providing 24-hour services, excluding food service and tourism sectors.
