Ergani II — Digital Work Time Organization
This site is unofficial developer documentation, reorganized from the official manuals published by the Greek Ministry of Labour and Social Security (Υπουργείο Εργασίας και Κοινωνικής Ασφάλισης):
- "Εγχειρίδιο Χρήσης του ΠΣ Εργάνη για την επιχείρηση/εργοδότη — Εργάνη II – Νέες Διαδικασίες" (Β' Φάση – Υπο-φάση Ι, Έκδοση 20.10.2022) — the original manual for Digital Work Time Organization.
- "Νέος Συγκεντρωτικός Οδηγός Εφαρμογής Οργάνωσης Χρόνου Εργασίας, Ψηφιακής Κάρτας Εργασίας" (Νέα Έκδοση 08.11.2024) — a newer consolidated guide covering Digital Work Time Organization and the Digital Work Card together.
- "Πληροφοριακό Σύστημα Εργάνη II – Οδηγός Εφαρμογής: Σύστημα Εκτέλεσης Υπηρεσιών Διαλειτουργικότητας" — the Web API (REST) / interoperability services manual.
- "Πληροφοριακό Σύστημα Εργάνη II – Συνοπτικός Οδηγός Εκπλήρωσης Υποχρεώσεων" (Έκδοση 12.02.2026) — a concise compliance-obligations guide.
- "Πληροφοριακό Σύστημα Εργάνη II – Οδηγός Εφαρμογής" (Έκδοση 13.02.2026) — the newer consolidated application guide, covering the digital declaration framework for hiring, employment-relationship changes, and termination of employment (including the termination sub-types and their attachment/signature requirements).
It covers the "Digital Work Time Organization" (Ψηφιακή Οργάνωση Χρόνου Εργασίας) module of the ΠΣ ΕΡΓΑΝΗ system, including:
- The mandatory registration ("απογραφική") procedure that every employer must complete for all dependent employees.
- The new declaration types for work schedules (fixed weekly / variable per-day), leaves, and the updated E3 hiring form.
- The Web API (REST) that lets employers/software vendors submit these declarations programmatically.
- Reference material: leave type codes, SMS-based single-day schedule changes, file formats, and a Q&A appendix.
This documentation is a restructured and translated version of the official PDF manual for convenience. Always cross-check against the official ΠΣ ΕΡΓΑΝΗ announcements at eservices.yeka.gr before relying on this for production submissions — rules, codes, and endpoints can change between ministerial decisions.
Why this exists
The Ergani II rollout (from 01/11/2022) requires every employer in Greece with dependent employees to:
- Submit a one-time "Declaration of Change of Employment Relationship Elements" (Δήλωση Μεταβολής Στοιχείων Εργασιακής Σχέσης) for each employee, opting them into Digital Work Time Organization.
- Declare each employee's work schedule digitally — either as a Fixed Weekly schedule or a Variable/Modified Per-Day schedule.
- From then on, manage schedule changes, leaves, and overtime through the new digital mechanism instead of the old E4 paper-form-style processes.
This documentation aims to give developers and integrators a clear map of:
- What needs to be declared and when.
- How the data model works (submission types, codes, validation rules).
- How to call the REST API to automate these submissions.
How this documentation is organized
- Concepts — the overall model: what "Digital Work Time Organization" means, the registration procedure, and the available submission channels. Based on the original 2022 manual and the 2024 consolidated guide.
- Declarations — each declaration type in detail (employment relationship change, fixed weekly schedule, variable daily schedule, individual changes, leaves, E3 hiring, current status view). Based on the original 2022 manual and the 2024 consolidated guide.
- Web API Reference — authentication, the
Submissions/Documents/ServicesList/ExecuteServiceendpoints, and a worked example. Based on the Web API / interoperability services manual. - Digital Work Card — the related Ψηφιακή Κάρτα
Εργασίας mechanism: real-time arrival/departure (
WRKCardSE) declarations, eligible sectors, the CardScanner/myErgani apps, and late-submission rules. Based on the 2022 Digital Work Card manual and the 2024 consolidated guide. - Reference — leave type code tables, the SMS submission format, environments & companion files (XSD/XML/JSON/XLSX). Based on all four source manuals.
- FAQ — translated Q&A appendix from the official manuals.
