希腊部分工人的一周工作时间或将显著延长。

从7月1日起,希腊一些私营企业员工可能要每天上六天班了——因为希腊要实行每周工作48小时制了。

根据希腊最新的劳动法,部分工业和制造业企业,以及部分提供全天候服务的企业,可以将每周工作时间延长至5天以上。但餐饮服务业和旅游业不在其中。

为了解决生产率的问题,希腊于去年9月批准修改劳动法。因为希腊事实上已经有很多工人在加班工作,却没有拿到应得的加班费。有关官员指出,希腊还面临着因人口下降导致的技术工人短缺的问题。

实行48小时工作制后,工人多干的这8小时有权获得1.4倍工资。如果是在周末工作,还能获得1.15倍正常工资的加班费。

如果雇主决定采用48小时工作制,必须在加班前至少提前24小时通知员工。而且不得在每周48时之外再超额加班。

这项新规则在通过之前,并未得到社会的广泛认同。就在该法案通过的前一天,一大批教师、医生和运输工人等纷纷走上街头抗议,称这项改革是对工人权利的践踏,可能会导致“野蛮”的工作条件。

希腊工人的工作时间已经超过了美国和大部分欧洲国家的工人。经合组织(OECD)指出,2022年,希腊人的平均工作时间为1886小时,而美国为1811小时,欧盟为1571小时。

就在希腊延长工时的同时,很多国家则在试行每周四天工作制。去年全球进行一项大规模实验表明,在实行每周四天工作制后,人们的工作效率与每周工作五天的人一样高。组织该实验的非营利组织称,该实验“几乎在所有方面都取得了巨大成功”。

去年3月,在美国劳工联合会-产业工会联合会(AFL-CIO)和美国经济政策研究所的支持下,加州一名议员也提议,就实行每周32小时工作制开展全国性立法,但该法案未能获得广泛支持。(财富中文网)

The workweek is about to get a lot longer for some employees in Greece.

Starting July 1, workers in the private sector could be going into the office six days a week—as the 48-hour workweek goes into effect.

Select industrial and manufacturing facilities, along with businesses that provide 24/7 services, are eligible to extend the workweek beyond five days under new labor laws. Food service and tourism workers are not included in the longer workweeks.

The change to the labor laws was approved last September following productivity issues in the country, which have led many workers to put in extra hours and often not be compensated for the time. Officials also note there has been a shortage of skilled workers due to a shrinking population.

Workers who do put in the extra time will receive 40% extra during the additional eight hours—and 115% of their normal salary if they work on a holiday.

Employers who decide to embrace the 48-hour workweek will be required to notify employees at least 24 hours before the shift begins. No additional overtime beyond the eight hours is allowed.

The new rules were not met with widespread acceptance ahead of their approval. The day before the bill was passed, public sector workers, such as teachers, doctors, and transportation workers, walked off the job in protest, calling the overhaul an affront to workers’ rights that could create “barbaric” conditions.

Workers in Greece already work more than those in the U.S. and most of Europe. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes Greeks worked an average of 1,886 hours in 2022, compared to 1,811 in the U.S. and the European Union average of 1,571.

Greece’s unorthodox approach to labor comes as many other regions are experimenting with a four-day workweek. Last year, the results of the world’s largest trial of the shorter schedule showed workers who put in four days were just as productive as they were during a five-day week. The nonprofit that ran the pilot program called it a “resounding success on virtually every dimension.”

Last March, one member of California’s legislature floated legislation for a 32-hour workweek to become national law, with the backing of the AFL-CIO and the Economic Policy Institute. The bill failed to find traction.
