Specifically, with regards to the Digital Notification of Commencement of Employment, the following are provided:
The Digital Notification of Commencement of Employment must be submitted before the commencement of work in the ERGANI II Information System (PS ERGANI II). If an employee is found to be working without the submission of the aforementioned notification, the administrative sanctions for undeclared work pursuant to Article 5 of Law 4554/2018 (Government Gazette A’ 130) shall be imposed, namely an administrative fine of €10,500 per established violation.
For the proper submission of the Digital Notification of Commencement of Employment, alternatively, the following is required:
(a) If the procedure is completed by attaching a document upon submission:
i. Attachment of the scanned relevant form of the ERGANI II Information System, as completed in the system, printed and signed by hand by the employee; or
ii. Attachment of the relevant form of the ERGANI II Information System, as completed in the system, in electronic format and signed with the employee’s approved electronic signature; or
iii. Attachment of the relevant form of the ERGANI II Information System, as completed in the system, which has been digitally certified by the employee through the relevant application of the Single Digital Portal (gov.gr – SDP).
In the event that the requirements under subparagraph (a) are not followed, any formal deficiency of the submission may be remedied at any time upon submission of a Digital Declaration of Change of Employment Details for that employee, in the correct manner.
(b) Digital acceptance by the employee through the “MyErgani” information system following the submission of the Digital Notification of Commencement of Employment and, in any case, prior to assuming duties.
In the event that the deadline for action by the employee lapses without effect, the declaration shall be automatically registered in the ERGANI II Information System.
