As part of our company’s commitment to keeping you informed, we would like to advise you that, based on decision 32143 / Δ1.11288 - Government Gazette, Series II, No 2401/22.06. 2018 of the Ministry of Labour, with effect from 01.07.2018 extra time and legal overtime will be announced on the ERGANI Information System on the day they are undertaken and indeed before such work has started. This is in contrast to the procedure followed up until now, whereby notifications of overtime for each month (form E8) were made by the 15th of the following month.

Changes to data relating to extra time legal overtime which has been submitted to the ERGANI information system using form E8 can be made via a new submission before the change comes into force.

Up until 31/8/2018, form E8 may be submitted in its old form (notification of overtime work undertaken) for overtime work to be completed during July and August 2018 (adjustment period).

However, from 1/9/2018, contractors will be required to submit the new E8 form for the notification of extra hours and/or legal overtime for workers, as provided for in this decision.

We would also like to inform you that when submitting the E3 and E4 forms it is obligatory to include (in the relevant field) the professional activity license number for specialties relating to:

• maintenance, repair and operation of electrical installations
• handling machinery for technical works
• execution, maintenance, repair and supervision of the operation of mechanical installations in industrial and other units
• handling and monitoring of steam boilers and
• execution of technical work and provision of technical services for electric welding and torch welding.
