The new system was presented at a press conference by the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Kostis Hatzidakis, the Secretary General of Labor Relations, Anna Stratinaki and Babis Samios, on behalf of the contractor company (Cosmote with subcontractor 01 Solutions Hellas).
“The upgrade of ERGANI, which we are announcing, is the basis for the application of the digital work card. It is a promise we gave to employees and companies with the enactment of Law 4808/2021 on Labor Protection, which we are implementing today. A reform in favor of employees and healthy competition, because the digital card is the best guarantee for respecting the working hours and overtime of employees. With the upgrade of ERGANI and the start of operation of ERGANI II, the foundations are laid for the start of operation of the digital card from the 1st of July. “With the digital card and the upgrade of SEPE to an independent authority, we give strength to the employee in practice and not in words”, the minister stressed, during his interview.
For her part, Ms. Stratinaki noted: “The digital work card is the main and most effective” weapon “of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to combat the phenomenon of undeclared and undeclared work. It is the institutional consequence of the solid political will of the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis for social justice, transparency and consistency in the workplace. It summarizes all the reforms that have taken place in the labor market since 2013, when the Information System ERGANI was instituted, but also its evolution into ERGANI II, from which it emerges, creating a new reality, a modern one, free from bureaucracy, digital environment for workers’ safety and protection of their rights.
At the same time, it contributes to the more efficient operation of the audit work of the ministry, through the Labor Inspection Body, since it encapsulates the technology and the important data of the ERGANI system for the benefit of the control mechanisms and, consequently, of the employees of the country. The digital work card, based on the new labor law 4808/21, is institutionally the crowning achievement of the brave reforms, opening a window to the future of work normalcy in a modern era “.
Mr. Samios underlined: “The digital work card fills the gap of capturing real-time work, which will be contrasted with the scheduling of work, which will also be recorded in digital form. At the same time, the information that will be available to the employees is upgraded and the channels through which it will be disseminated are enriched “.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, “the ministerial decision and the implementation guide include the steps that companies and employees must follow to digitally organize their working time. The evolution of ERGANI to ERGANI II leads to a radical upgrade of the recording capabilities of the programming and the real working time.
Specifically:
1. The scheduling of the work and the information for the real start-end times of the work will now be entered digitally in the ERGANI II system. With the current regime of PS ERGANI, the work schedule is submitted in unstructured text with attached files.
2. All the information about the programming, as well as the data of the digital work card for the real working time, will be available to the employees, through the application myErgani mobile app, as well as through the myErgani web portal (https: // myErgani .gov.gr) and in the form of a calendar. Today, only employer statements are available a posteriori.
3. For the first time, all types of licenses as well as hourly licenses will be recorded. Today, an annual report is submitted only for the regular license.
4. And of course with the digital card the real working time will be recorded for the first time. Employees will be able to report their arrival and departure from work through an app, scanning their work card, which will be displayed on the mobile phone in QR code format, just as was done with vaccination certificates and the information will be transmitted automatically in the ERGANI II system.
The digital card secures the working hours and salaries of the employees, as two new safety valves are introduced:
1. The start of work will be automatically notified to the INSTRUMENT II system. The same with the ending.
2. The auditor will know, before visiting a workplace, which employees should be there.
Thus, the control becomes automatic and objective and phenomena of undeclared work and unpaid overtime are prevented. Cases in which the employer asks the employee not to “knock” the card on arrival or to leave, but to stay at work, will be much easier to detect.
For banks and supermarkets with more than 250 employees, the inventory will take place from 1 to 30 June and the application of the card will follow from 1 July, while the rest of the companies will be inventoried from 1/10/2022 until 30 / 11/2022.
The implementation of the digital work card will be done in two stages: employee inventory / work planning – recording of real working time “.
