Employee cost for outdoor services – Greece – Research 2021

Many companies need outdoor services to meet their day-to-day obligations. But what is the cost of an employee for outdoor services?

We did our research – purely based on the current legal framework – and we present you our conclusion, giving modern solutions to reduce the fixed costs of your business.

Outdoor work vehicle’s costs

We will assume that the exterior work vehicle will be a motorbike up to 300cc (obviously the costs skyrocket in the case of a car).

There are 2 cases:

• Use of the employee’s motorbike (compensation 117 € / month)
• Use of a proprietary motorbike of similar specifications.

The only thing that changes in the costs between the 2 above cases is the purchase value of a privately owned motorbike, which ranges at 3500€.

Knowing from our experience that an outdoor work vehicle travels 100-120km per day, the following fixed costs arise per case.

Α. Compensation costs – employee vehicle costs

B. Cost-expenses of a privately owned vehicle

Motorbike 300cc
