Effective today, June 1, 2026, base salaries for hotel employees will increase by 2%, according to an announcement by the Panhellenic Federation of Food and Tourism Workers (POEET).
As stated in the announcement, the Collective Bargaining Agreement for hotel employees currently in effect includes a provision, agreed upon jointly with employers, for the creation of a professional fund to ensure the possibility of granting a decent lump-sum payment.
As POEET points out, it appears that this has not been possible, and the deadline that had been set expired yesterday.
Consequently, the 2% that would have constituted employer contributions to the new fund is being passed on to base salaries, which are set as follows:
Category A: €1,050.00
Category B: €1,030.00
Category C: €1,009.00
Category D: €989.40.
Furthermore, POEET clarifies that it remains firm in its position regarding the establishment of a professional fund in the near future.
