Working hours increase for some jobs in Greece

Greece has introduced a six-day working week for certain industries in a bid to boost economic growth, the BBC writes.

New legislation, which came into effect at the start of July, allows employees to work up to 48 hours in a week as opposed to 40․

It only applies to businesses which operate on a 24-hour basis and is optional for workers, who get paid an extra 40% for the overtime they do.
