Labor & Social Security Law

Our Labor & Social Security Law Services

Our firm addresses a broad range of cases, specializing across the following major legal axes:

1. Corporate Labor Compliance & Employer Support

We actively assist employers and businesses in aligning with strict labor guidelines, preventing regulatory fines and workplace disputes:

• Contract Scanning & Redrafting: Comprehensive evaluation of existing staff employment agreements and overall workplace policy (overtime logging, personnel tables, digital work card compliance, shift modifications) followed by contract restructuring to guarantee full legal compliance.

• Special Protective Clauses: Drafting specialized employment contracts, robust non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), confidentiality pacts, and non-compete clauses.

• Flexible Working & Workplace Privacy: Legal framing for teleworking (remote work), rotational employment, part-time setups, equal treatment standards, and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance within the workplace.

2. Employee Rights Protection & Claims Litigations

We stand firmly by employees, ensuring their statutory rights are fully respected and protected against employer abuses:

• Litigation and claims for unpaid wages, statutory allowances, bonuses, holiday pay, and overtime compensation.

• Protection against unlawful, unfair, or abusive dismissal and the precise calculation of legal severance pay.

• Defending against unilateral detrimental modifications of working terms (vlamtiki metavoli), as well as tackling workplace harassment, bullying (mobbing), or discriminatory practices.

3. Social Security Law & e-EFKA Disputes

We handle complex social security and insurance matters for both individuals and professionals:

• Appeals & Objections: Filing administrative appeals (prosfyges) against fine assessment acts issued by the e-EFKA and drafting formal objections before Local Administrative Committees.

• Workplace Accidents & Ergosimo: Strategic legal management of industrial or workplace accidents (claiming civil damages, tort compensations, managing employer civil and criminal liability) and regulatory matters concerning the service voucher (ergosimo) system.

• Independent Contractor Advisory (Article 39 Law 4387/2016): Legal guidance regarding the thin line between salaried employment and independent contractor status (the “deition” or service booklet framework).

4. Public Sector, Military Personnel & Trade Unions

• Public Civil Service & Military Forces: Highly specialized legal representation for permanent public sector employees, Armed Forces personnel, and Security Forces (police, coast guard) concerning transfers (metatheseis), secondments (apospaseis), inter-service relocations, and disciplinary procedures.

• Special Salary Scales: Judicial claims for retroactives and the annulment of unlawful structural cuts within special state payroll brackets.

• Union & Association Law: Drafting and amending articles of association for labor unions and trade associations, coupled with advisory services on union representative leaves and statutory protections.

• Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Resolving employment standoffs out of court via formal notices (exodikes ochleseis) and structured negotiations to achieve a swift, mutually beneficial settlement.
