A prerequisite for the inclusion of a company in the action for the employment of unemployed persons is that it has not made a reduction in staff during the last quarter before the date of submission of the funding application (calendar).
If the number of staff at the start date of the quarter under examination is the same as at the date of submission of the application - irrespective of whether there are any changes in the number of staff during that period - the enterprise may be included in the measure.

As staff reduction is considered:
a. the termination of the employment contract,
b. the change of employment status from full-time to part-time or rotating employment,
c. the voluntary exit that is done at the initiative of the employer, through programs to provide mainly financial incentives for voluntary exit,
d. voluntary withdrawal, which is considered as a termination of the contract, in accordance with Art. 38 of Law 4488/2017 (A΄137),
e. the suspension of an employee,
f. the exercise of the right to withdraw from work under Chapter 325 of the Labour Code.
In these cases, in order to qualify for the action for the employment of unemployed persons, the enterprise must cover the reduction in the number of employees by the date of submission of the application for funding. If the enterprise has made a reduction in staff during the period following the date of submission of the application for funding, it may be included in the action, provided that it has covered the reduction by the date of the assessment.
