An analysis of records by the social security organization IKA for January 2016 reveals the true state of the Greek pay market. Each month employees worked for 21.38 days, although this fell to 12.22 days for those in the construction sector. In return, the average full-time employee received 1,219.69 euros gross a month, although this amounted to 500 euros in the construction sector and 400.84 euros for part-time workers. The average part-time worker earned 45% of the daily rate received by full-time employees. Finally, no surprises here concerning the gender wage gap – which revealed its usual pattern with full-time women employees receiving, on average, well below (84.5%) male monthly pay.
