It is expected to be ready in a year the digital job card which will control exactly the hours the employees will work, as announced Labor Minister Adonis Georgiadis speaking on the show “Today” on SKAI.

As the minister clarified, each employee will be paid even one minute of his overtime, “without the employer having the possibility to steal his employee”.

Regarding the second employment of those who work, Mr. Georgiadis said that the pension replacement rate will increase and they will receive a larger pension.

For issuing pensions he said that the goal is to get out within one month of application while every prospective pensioner will have the possibility to communicate with his inspector EFKA via Skype for any clarification regarding pension issuance.

The new service, as he said, it is already in trial mode, while at TIF he will present it himself, its normal application.

He also noted that the new bill provides for right to strike and work. He clarified that the worker who wishes to strike will be protected as well as the worker who wishes to work. “Obstructing work is considered a criminal offense and anyone who does it will face a 5,000 euro fine”
