Minimum Wage Decree to Take Effect in January 2026

The Council of Ministers' Decree regarding the adjustment of the national minimum wage was published in the Official Gazette and will take effect from January 1, 2026. The new minimum monthly wage for full-time employment is set at €1,088. However, for employees with less than six months of continuous employment, the minimum wage will be €979, increasing to €1,088 upon completion of six months. The full-time working hours remain as they were at the time of the Decree's issuance, determined by legislation, contract, or custom. Finally, the minimum wage for part-time workers will be adjusted proportionally to their working hours.
