4 December, 2012, Athens Court of Appeal Decision No. 4062/2011
In a decision handed down on July 26, 2011, the Athens Court of
Appeal (ACA) reversed partially a decision of the First Instance
Single-Member Court of Athens (FISMCA) and ruled that the
plaintiff, a former employee of the defendant, was entitled to
payment for overtime work. However, contrary to the FISMCA
decision, the ACA reduced the overall sum for overtime owed to the
plaintiff in that it excluded the lawful office break enjoyed by
the employee from the calculated working hours and thus did not
take into account the break time for overtime calculation purposes.
