Mandatory Retirement (E5DS)

The E5DS form is used when the employer requires an employee to retire due to reaching the age limit or completing 15+ years of service with pension eligibility. Unlike E5S (voluntary), this is an employer-initiated retirement.

Document Class	RetirementMandatory

Use Case	Employer-required retirement

When to Use E5DS

Use E5DS when:

• Employee has reached the mandatory retirement age
• Employee has completed 15+ years of service AND is pension-eligible
• The employer is requiring (not requesting) retirement
• Retirement compensation is provided

E5DS vs E5S

• E5S: Employee voluntarily requests retirement
• E5DS: Employer requires retirement (age or tenure based)

Why 15 Years?

Greek labor law allows employers to terminate employees who have completed 15 years of service with full pension rights, provided the employer pays the legal severance.

Compensation Guidelines

For mandatory retirement (Art. 74 Labor Code), severance is typically:

Scenario	Severance Amount
Age limit reached	Full legal severance
15+ years with pension rights	40% of full severance

Legal Advice

Severance calculations for mandatory retirement are complex. Consult with a labor law specialist for accurate amounts.

Important Notes

1. Employer-Initiated: E5DS is when the employer decides to retire the employee, not when the employee requests it.

2. Pension Eligibility: For the 15-year rule, the employee must have full pension rights.

3. Compensation Required: Legal severance must be provided and documented.

4. Proper Notice: Ensure proper written notification has been given to the employee.

5. Coordination with EFKA: The retirement should be coordinated with pension application processes.
