How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Greece is:

A worker in Greece earning €25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 1.75x: €25 × 1.75 = €43.75/hour
- Holiday pay: €43.75 × 8 hours = €350.00
- Regular pay would be: €25 × 8 = €200.00
- Extra premium earned: €150.00
Key Considerations for Greece
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
