The banking group Eurobank, has announced a new plan for voluntary redundancies. Applications were accepted from 12 February 2024 to 26 February 2024. The programme provides one-off compensation to €160,000 for immediate retirement which can reach €180,000 for certain categories of employees (in centralized units). The program provides additional three options for taking mandatory leave of 2, 5 and 7 years instead of immediate retirement, during which the employee is fully exempted from the obligation to be present and work at the bank. The ceiling for the lump sum in the 7-year mandatory leave reaches up to €250,000.
Participation in Eurobank's voluntary exit program was high with 600 employees applying for 400 exits. The Bank will decide how many requests to accept.
