Hire employees in Greece with an Employer of Record

Hiring in Greece requires a registered local employer to handle payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits. With EOR World, our local entity becomes the legal employer — so you can hire any candidate in Greece without setting up your own subsidiary.

The local currency is EUR and the standard payroll cycle is monthly (14 payments/yr). The official working language is Greek / English, and contracts must comply with Greece employment law.

Payroll in Greece runs monthly (14 payments/yr). Employers are responsible for income tax withholding, social security contributions, and any mandatory benefits.

Estimated employer cost on top of gross salary: ~22.3% on top of gross. EOR World handles all calculations, deductions, and statutory filings on your behalf.

Total cost = gross salary + employer contributions (~22.3% on top of gross) + EOR fee starting at $299/month. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no per-country surprises.

• Stay 100% compliant with Greece employment, tax, and labour law.
• Pay employees in EUR on time, every cycle.
• Provide compliant local benefits and a great employee experience.
• Avoid permanent establishment risk and misclassification penalties.
