The digital platform supportmployees.services.gov.gr was put into operation on Tuesday, February 25th as part of the implementation of emergency support measures for employees and businesses taken for the Municipalities activity.

Specifically, today employers can submit their responsible statements to the “ERGANI” information system, while employees whose contracts have been suspended can submit their responsible statements through the platform supportmployees.services.gov.gr.

All private sector businesses, regardless of industry and activity, operating in the affected areas, have the potential to suspend their employees’ contracts in accordance with the following criteria:

  • Municipality of Thira (PE Thira): Employees hired by February 1, 2025, can be suspended from February 1 to March 3, 2025.
  • Municipality of Amorgos (PE Naxos – South Aegean Region): Employees who were hired by 11 February 2025 can be suspended from February 11 to 11 March 2025.
  • Anafis Municipality (PE Thira): Employees hired by February 13, 2025, can be suspended from February 13 to March 13, 2025.
  • Municipality (PE Thira – South Aegean Region): Employees who were hired by 14 February 2025 can be suspended from February 14 to March 14, 2025.

It is recalled that employees who are suspended are entitled to compensation for special purpose as well as full insurance coverage, calculated on the nominal salary.

Finally, it is noted that for the protection of workers, businesses using the suspension measure are not allowed to make redundancies during the period of suspension. Any complaints of contracts are considered automatically invalid. Businesses are obliged to maintain the same number of jobs and the same type of contract for a period equal to the suspension, unless employees voluntarily leave, retire, dose or have a fixed -term contract that expires within that period.
