Sources: 4. Developments: 2. In August 2026, new administrative decisions in Greece established various allowances for specific government personnel. Initially, a decision regarding the Presidency of the Republic introduced a “special duties allowance” for staff. These monthly payments, which were applied retroactively from July 1, 2026, ranged from 150 to 300 euros depending on the role. This measure prompted debate concerning social equity and the contrast between presidential staff compensation and the financial struggles of low-income pensioners and broader public sector employees. Shortly after, a joint ministerial decision established a management allowance framework for the Hellenic Police. These monthly allowances, ranging from 80 to 500 euros, were scaled based on administrative rank, with the Chief of the Hellenic Police receiving the highest amount. Similar to the previous decision, these provisions included retroactive application, effective from October 1, 2025. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Hellenic Police to receive new management allowances up to 500 euros The Greek government has introduced new management allowances for Hellenic Police personnel, ranging from 80 to 500 euros monthly based on rank, with retroactive effect starting October 2025. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hellenic-police-to-receive-new-management-allowances-up-to-500-euros ### 2026-08-23: Greek Presidency staff to receive special duties allowance Personnel at the Greek Presidency will receive a retroactive “special duties allowance” of up to 300 euros monthly, sparking debate over public sector wage disparities. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greek-presidency-staff-to-receive-special-duties-allowance --- Cite as: Greek government administrative allowance implementations.
