Your salary takes into account the basic salary that corresponds to your grade and step (see your work contract), the family allowances, compensations, taxes and social contributions. This salary is impacted by a weighting factor to take into account the cost of living in Greece (currently 86%). Pay rates and correction coefficients are adjusted each year.
Wages vary according to grade and function; for officials, the starting salary varies from €3,000 (AST) to €5,000 (AD) depending on the entry grade, whereas the entry salary for the different function groups of contract agents is between €2,000 and €2,500. Salaries increase based on merit and seniority as you progress in your career.
