The article discusses Clean Monday, which falls on February 23 this year, and outlines how the Greek labor union GSEE is informing private sector employees regarding their payment if they work on this day. It clarifies that Clean Monday is not included in the official holidays mandated by law for private sector workers. Employees working on this day will be paid their regular wages without any additional compensation for overtime or holiday work unless specified by collective labor agreements or company practices.

For daily wage employees, they will receive the same daily wage as usual, and no bonus for working on this holiday is applicable. Those on a salary may also not receive extra payment beyond their usual monthly salary. However, private companies might choose to recognize Clean Monday as a holiday based on collective labor agreements (SSCs), company work regulations, or established business customs where the business observes closure on this day.

This information is significant as it highlights the legal context of holiday remuneration in Greece and informs employees of their rights regarding holiday payments. The implications are important for both workers and employers to understand proper compensation practices, especially in the evolving labor landscape where adherence to regulations and agreements is crucial.
