A Greece time card answers three practical questions: how many paid working hours the employee recorded, which break time must be excluded, and whether the week crosses the 40-hour contractual baseline. Greek contractual working time is 40 hours per week, normally 8 hours per day over 5 days or 6 hours 40 minutes per day over 6 days.
The calculation also flags timing rules that change review, even before payroll rates are applied. In Greece, an adult employee whose daily working time exceeds 4 hours must receive a 15- to 30-minute break. That statutory break is excluded from working time unless a more favorable contract or employer policy applies.
Use 24-hour HH:mm entries for Greece-facing time cards, especially for overnight, evening, and split shifts. Greek labor sources express statutory time ranges in 24-hour terms such as 22:00-06:00, and Greek short dates follow a day-month-year pattern. A start time of 08:00, an end time of 17:00, and a 30-minute unpaid break produce 8.5 paid working hours.
Break placement matters. The statutory adult break cannot be placed at the start or end of the daily working time, and employees are entitled to leave the workplace during it. A time card that records 08:00-16:30 with a break from 16:00-16:30 does not match that placement rule, even though the arithmetic still subtracts 30 minutes.
For a 5-day Greek workweek, classify the first 40 paid working hours as ordinary contractual hours. Work above 40 hours up to 45 hours is extra work and is paid at the hourly rate plus 20%. Work above 45 hours, and work above 9 hours per day in a 5-day week, is overtime paid at the hourly rate plus 40% when legal requirements are met.
For example, an hourly employee in Greece earns €14 per hour and records paid daily totals of 9, 9, 8, 9, and 9 hours after unpaid statutory breaks. The week totals 44 hours. Ordinary pay is 40 × €14 = €560. Extra-work pay is 4 × €14 × 1.20 = €67.20. No weekly overtime applies in this example. Total gross time-card pay is €627.20.
A one-off time card calculation is enough when you need to check one week, correct one missing break, or explain one payroll line. Keep the inputs visible: start time, end time, unpaid break, paid working hours, ordinary hours, extra work, overtime, and the rate used for each band.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when the same team submits time every week. Greece time cards need continuous clock-in and clock-out capture, break handling, approval, and a clean payroll handoff. Everhour Reporting can group logged time by person, project, date range, and metadata, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for review.

Count the working time between clock-in and clock-out after subtracting unpaid statutory breaks. In Greece, the adult statutory break for daily working time over 4 hours is excluded from working time unless a more favorable contract or employer policy applies. Keep paid leave, unpaid break time, and actual working time separate.
Yes, the time card should show the break separately when the shift exceeds 4 hours for an adult employee. Greece requires an adult break of at least 15 minutes and no more than 30 minutes after daily working time exceeds 4 hours. The break cannot sit at the beginning or end of the shift.
In a 5-day Greek workweek, work above 40 hours up to 45 hours is extra work paid at the hourly rate plus 20%. Work above 45 hours is overtime paid at the hourly rate plus 40% when legal requirements are met. Daily work above 9 hours in a 5-day week is also overtime.
No. Employees in Greece are entitled to at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest in each 24-hour period, including between shifts. A weekly total can look correct while the schedule still violates the rest window. Review the end time of one shift against the start time of the next shift.
Use 24-hour HH:mm entries. Greek labor sources use 24-hour time ranges such as 22:00-06:00, and that format reduces mistakes on overnight shifts. A time card using 23:00 to 07:00 is clearer than a mixed AM/PM entry, especially when payroll reviews night or next-day work.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and conditional formatting. A manager can review weekly hours by person, separate project and working time, and export CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF files before payroll review.
Everhour can surface overtime and double-overtime data in Team Hours and configurable reports when overtime tracking is enabled. That gives managers a review view for unusual weekly totals before approved time moves into billing, payroll checks, or archived reporting.
Use Everhour Reporting to review approved time cards by person, week, project, and export format, then send cleaner payroll support with fewer spreadsheet corrections.
