In our previous article available here, we discussed the introduction of Temporary Employment Agencies, acting as direct employers, in the employment invitation procedure, the legal framework governing their operation, as well as the requirements they must meet established by law.
In this article, we will examine the employment invitation procedure and the supporting documents that must be submitted for the approval of employment in cases where the direct employer is a Temporary Employment Agency. Initially, the Temporary Employment Agency submits an application to the competent department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Provided that it complies with the requirements of the Migration Code, it is issued a certificate/accreditation confirming its capacity to operate as a direct employer on behalf of an indirect employer.
Subsequently, pursuant to the certification issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Temporary Employment Agency enters into a bilateral contractual agreement with the indirect employer, on whose behalf it will proceed with the employment invitation process.
Supporting documents submitted by the Temporary Employment Agency for employment approval of each invited employee.
Valid employment contract for a minimum duration of six (6) months in Greece, signed by the duly authorised legal representative of the Temporary Employment Agency, proving that the wages of the invited third-country national is at least equal to the monthly earnings applicable to an unskilled employee or manual worker, as determined from time to time under articles 141 and 141A of the Labor Law Code.
Copy of the corporate income tax return of the Temporary Employment Agency. The Temporary’s Employment’s Agency tax return is not assessed for the purpose of determining its ability to cover payroll expenses, since the corresponding supporting document of the indirect employer is taken into account to ensure such coverage.
The agreement concluded between the Temporary Employment Agency and the indirect employer, the minimum content of which is specified in article 125 of the Labor Law Code.
The personal income tax assessment notice (in the case of an individual) or a copy of the corporate income tax return (in the case of a legal entity) of the indirect employer, demonstrating, as applicable, the financial capacity to ensure payment of the monthly wages, as defined in the agreement between the Temporary Employment Agency and the indirect employer.
This process aims to assist employers wishing to make use of the invitation employment procedure by providing greater flexibility. In particular, Temporary Employment Agencies are able to assist employers in matching prospective workers from third countries with employers in Greece, thereby reducing the costs associated with recruiting and sourcing labor. This is especially beneficial in cases where an indirect employer requires a significant number of invited workers.
