Do you have staff, or plan to hire, and want to know that all the labour and social security obligations of your business are handled correctly?

Do you employ staff and struggle to keep up with the constant changes in labour and social security legislation?

Do you want to hire staff but do not know which form of employment is suitable and how much it will really cost you?

Are working hours, shifts, overtime, the Digital Work Card and declarations in the ERGANI Information System a concern?

You may be wondering:

• How much does an employee really cost in my business?
• Which employment contract and working hours can I lawfully apply?
• Are salaries, social security contributions and surcharges calculated correctly?
• What must I do when an employee works extra hours, on a Sunday or on a public holiday?
• How does the Digital Work Card work and what happens when there are discrepancies?
• How can I better organise shifts and staff costs?
• Is there a subsidy programme for hiring a new employee?
• How can I limit the risk of errors, fines and labour disputes?

Proper human resources management is not limited to issuing the monthly payroll. It requires organisation, knowledge of the legislation and sound financial planning.

At EPITEFXI – CHRONAKIS DIMITRIOS we provide complete labour, payroll and social security support to businesses of every legal form.

We take on the procedures provided for, follow the payroll and social security obligations and guide you in organising employment.

At the same time, we link staff management with the business's financial operation, so that you know the real cost of your decisions.

Because human resources are an important growth factor, but also one of the most significant categories of operating cost.

1. Do you want to hire an employee but do not know where to start?

Are you thinking of hiring your first employee?

Do you need extra staff because your workload has grown?

Do you not know whether full-time or part-time employment is better for you?

Before you proceed with a hire, you need to know the lawful options and the total financial cost.

At EPITEFXI we examine your business's needs and inform you about the forms of employment that can be applied.

We take on the preparation of the required data and the procedures provided for declaring the hire.

We guide you on the basic terms of employment, payroll obligations, social security treatment and the required declarations.

So that you know the obligations you take on before the employment relationship begins.

2. Do you not know how much an employee really costs?

When you plan a hire, you may only calculate the net salary you will pay.

But the real employer cost includes more elements.

Depending on the case, gross earnings, employer social security contributions, holiday bonuses, holiday pay and allowance, and lawful additional payments must be taken into account.

The net salary is not the total cost your business takes on.

We calculate the expected employment cost based on the contract, working hours, specialty and the applicable payroll and social security provisions.

We can compare different lawful employment scenarios, so that you can assess their financial impact.

So that you can plan your hiring on the basis of the real cost and your business's needs.

3. Do you need correct and reliable payroll every month?

Payroll is not simply the calculation of a monthly salary.

The terms of employment, the actual working data, the social security obligations and the applicable statutory or collective rules must all be taken into account.

We take on:

• Calculation of monthly payroll.
• Issuing of detailed payslips.
• Calculation of social security contributions.
• Preparation and submission of the Detailed Periodic Returns (APD).
• Calculation of Christmas and Easter bonuses.
• Calculation of holiday pay and allowance.
• Calculation of lawful additional payments and surcharges.
• Monitoring of payroll and social security obligations.
• Preparation of payroll reports for the business.

Our aim is the correct application of payroll and social security obligations, with consistency and organised follow-up.

4. Do you have employees on different schedules and struggle to organise their employment?

Managing staff becomes more demanding when there are different shifts, part-time work, weekend work or changing needs.

Do your employees work four hours on some days and eight on others?

Do you often need to change the work schedule?

The organisation of working hours must meet the business's operating needs and the labour provisions in force.

We support you in understanding and applying the procedures provided for declaring working time.

We examine the forms of employment, contractual hours, shifts, rest days and additional working hours.

At the same time, we assess the payroll implications of different lawful work schedules.

So that you organise your staff with greater clarity and a better knowledge of payroll costs.

5. Is the Digital Work Card a concern?

The introduction of the Digital Work Card has created new requirements for businesses covered by the relevant framework.

Perhaps you do not know how employees' entries and exits must be recorded.

Perhaps discrepancies arise between declared hours and actual employment.

Perhaps you need to manage shift changes, additional work or absences.

Proper application of the Digital Card requires coordinating the business's daily operation with the declarations and payroll.

We provide support for:

• Understanding the obligations of the Digital Card.
• Organising declared hours and work schedules.
• Assessing the available data on actual employment.
• Managing payroll issues arising from additional working hours.
• The procedures and declarations provided for in the ERGANI system.
• Identifying discrepancies that require investigation.

So that you can apply the system with sound organisation and limit the risk of omissions.

6. Do you not know how overtime, night work, Sundays and public holidays must be paid?

Work beyond the usual hours can create additional payroll obligations.

The rules vary depending on the type of employment, its duration, the sector and the provisions that apply.

Not all additional hours are paid in the same way.

Depending on the case, we examine:

• Extra work and overtime.
• Night work.
• Work on Sundays and public holidays.
• Additional work by part-time employees.
• Work on different shifts.
• Social security treatment of the corresponding earnings.

We calculate the earnings and social security charges provided for, based on the available and verified data.

So that you know both your obligations to your employees and the real cost of the additional employment.

7. Do you not know which Collective Labour Agreement applies to your business?

Pay terms are not necessarily the same for all businesses and all specialties.

Depending on the sector, the specialty and the legal conditions of application, different collective or individual arrangements may apply.

Correct payroll treatment starts with correctly identifying the terms governing the employment relationship.

We examine the available information on the business's activity, the specialty, the contract and the pay rules that apply.

We support you in calculating earnings, allowances and other payroll obligations.

Where complex issues of legal interpretation arise, cooperation with a suitable legal adviser is required.

To reduce the risk of applying pay terms incorrectly.

8. Do you want to manage leave, absences and staff departures properly?

Employees' leave and absences affect both payroll and the day-to-day organisation of the business.

At the same time, the end or termination of an employment relationship can create specific obligations.

We provide support for:

• Monitoring of annual leave entitlements.
• Calculation of holiday pay and allowance.
• Payroll treatment of sickness and other absences.
• Voluntary resignation procedures.
• Contract termination procedures.
• Calculation of the earnings and compensation provided for.
• Submission of the required declarations.

For contract terminations, labour disputes and other issues that require specialised legal judgement, early help from a lawyer is recommended.

So that you handle changes in your staff with proper financial and administrative preparation.

9. Do you want to hire staff through a subsidised programme?

Are you planning to increase your staff but worried about the payroll cost?

There may be job-subsidy programmes available that can support specific hires.

Before you proceed with a hire, it is worth examining whether a suitable active funding option exists.

At EPITEFXI we can assess DYPA employment programmes and other related actions.

We examine the participation conditions, the requirements for the employer and the employee, the duration of the commitments and the expected financial benefit.

Where we take on a related service, we support the preparation of the application and the follow-up of the programme's obligations.

So that you assess the available subsidies before you commit to a new position, without taking approval or funding for granted.

10. Do you want to organise your staff better and control payroll costs?

Your business may employ several people but not have a clear picture of the total cost by department or activity.

Perhaps overtime has increased.

Perhaps some shifts have a high cost relative to the turnover they serve.

Organising staff properly is not only about complying with labour legislation. It is also linked to the business's financial performance.

We can prepare payroll cost analyses per employee, department or period.

We examine the financial effects of different lawful staffing and employment scenarios.

Where required, we combine payroll data with the business's financial analysis.

So that you can make better-founded decisions about staffing, cost and growth.
