The Memorandum of Understanding on Specific Economic Policy Conditionality signed by the Greek government as a condition of its recently granted bail-out lays down a “one recruitment for five exits” rule for public sector employment.

“The staffing plans should be consistent with the target of reducing public employment by 150,000” by the end of 2015, although this is backdated to the end of 2010.For the purposes of calculating changes in staffing levels, “staff transferred to the government from either state-owned enterprises or other entities under restructuring are considered as new recruitments”.

Monthly staffing data for government departments will be published online under the terms of the agreement, which also includes agreeing to an “expert assessment” of wage structures.
