Under Article 14 of Law No 5288 of 31 August 1931, amended by Law No 5598 of 8 November 1931, private employment agencies are prohibited from setting up and operating in Greece. This prohibition concerns both agencies which act as an intermediary between companies with vacancies and job applicants without becoming involved in the resultant employment relationship, and agencies which make employees available to third parties in return for payment.
Cette interdiction vise, d'une part, l'entreprise agissant en tant qu'intermédiaire entre offres et demandes d'emploi, sans devenir partie à la relation de travail en découlant et, d'autre part, l'entreprise dont l'activité consiste à mettre, contre rémunération, ses propres travailleurs à disposition d'une tierce personne.
