In Greece, the Easter bonus, known as 'δώρο Πάσχα', must be paid to private sector employees no later than Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The bonus is applicable to all employees who receive a salary or daily wage, regardless of whether they are working full-time or part-time, and is contingent upon having a fixed-term or indefinite employment contract.

The amount of the Easter bonus differs depending on the mode of payment: it equals half a monthly salary for salaried workers and consists of 15 daily wages for hourly workers. Nevertheless, the duration of the employment relationship significantly influences the total amount calculated, ensuring that the bonus rewards workers fairly based on their time served.

Importantly, employers are mandated to pay the Easter bonuses exclusively through bank accounts belonging to the eligible employees. Each payment must include a description detailing the purpose and the respective period of the payment. Payment can be executed through various methods, including electronic payment systems, providing flexibility in fulfilling this obligation, while still ensuring that it is done in compliance with established labor laws.
