The Greek government has introduced Presidential Decree 62/2025, establishing new labor regulations to ensure equitable work standards for all employees, including overseas workers.
The Greek government has officially enacted Presidential Decree 62/2025, also known as the New Labor Law Code, which outlines updated provisions to promote fair work conditions across the country. This legal framework, branded under the slogan “Fair Work for All,” seeks to enhance employee protections, modernize labor market regulations, and foster more transparent employment practices.
Key features include standardized work contracts, strengthened rights for foreign workers residing and employed in Greece, and mechanisms to address workplace discrimination. The decree aims to align Greece’s labor policies with European Union standards, improving the country’s attractiveness for both local and international workers.
Official sources underscore that the new code facilitates better job security and promotes workplace equality. According to government statements, the reforms also intend to support economic development by fostering a more skilled and fairly treated workforce.
For overseas workers, particularly those from countries like India, the decree is expected to provide clearer guidelines on employment terms and legal protections. While official announcements emphasize the positive impacts, continued monitoring will be essential to ensure effective implementation and responsiveness to migrant worker needs.
