March 25th has been determined by law as a mandatory holiday, the EU and the Confederation’s Workers’ and Unemployed Information Center (KEPEA/EU) notes in its announcement, in which it informs the ways of remuneration during the holiday.

As he points out, on compulsory holidays, employees’ employment is prohibited, as well as the operation of businesses except those who are legally operating on Sundays and compulsory holidays.

Specifically, as regards the remuneration of March 25, 2025, the following applies:

For businesses that do not work:

Operations that do not operate are paid without any salaries usually paid for a salary day to those who are paid wage, while those who are paid wages will normally receive their monthly pay paid.

For businesses that are legally operating:

For the employees who will be employed on March 25, the following apply:

1) If they are paid on a salary, they will receive their usually paid wage and an increase of 75% to be calculated in their legal hourly wage for those hours of work.

2) If they are paid for a monthly salary:

(a) If it are businesses that are late on Sundays and days of holiday and they will operate on March 25th, it is due to 1/25 of their usually paid salary and additional 75% surcharge on the legal wage for as many hours of employment

(b) In the case of businesses that operate legally on Sundays and other public holidays, there is only a 75%surcharge, calculated at 1/25 of their legal wage for those hours of employment.

In addition, employees should be aware that:

  • It is not legal to offset the day -to -day daytime, with a mandatory holiday.
  • If the employment of both wages and monthly salary on March 25 is over 40 hours, it is also due to the public surcharge and the surcharge due to additional labor (overtime, overtime).
  • The wage on March 25 is entitled to the employees on leave, but this day is not counted on business days of their leave.
  • In the event that more favorable terms apply (eg by BSE, Labor Regulation, Operational Custom or Custom) in terms of payments for work on a mandatory holiday or Sunday, they prevail over
