Minimum wage (gross)

Hellenic Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs - Ministerial Decision 8934/2026 (reported via Bernitsas Law / WageIndicator)Greece publishes a MONTHLY statutory minimum (kατώτατος μισθός), not a native hourly rate, so basis=converted_from_monthly. Current standard adult full-time gross minimum = EUR 920/month for white-collar workers, effective 1 April 2026 per Ministerial Decision 8934/2026 (a 4.55% rise from the previous EUR 880). For blue-collar/daily workers the minimum daily wage is EUR 41.09. The minimum wage is paid 14 times per year (12 monthly payments plus Christmas, Easter and holiday-leave bonuses); on a 12-month-equivalent basis this is ~EUR 1,073.33/month, which is the figure Eurostat reports. Statutory full-time week is 40 hours. No separate youth/apprentice sub-minimum currently applies: the reduced sub-minimum for workers under 25 was abolished in February 2019, so the rate is uniform for adults. Government target is EUR 950/month by spring 2027.
