Greek-labour-law-compliant rotation
As you build the schedule, shifts are checked against daily and weekly rest, the night-work window, Sunday rest and overtime limits — so the week you publish already respects the rules.
For hospitality, retail and healthcare teams
Workforce scheduling that complies with Greek labour law
Vardies is a bilingual scheduling platform for small and medium Greek businesses. Managers build and publish the weekly rota; employees see their shifts, request leave and stay informed — with rest, public holidays and overtime checked against Greek labour law as you go.

Features
Everything a weekly rota needs, in one place
Vardies covers the whole cycle — building the week, checking it against the rules, covering absences and telling everyone what they are working.
Hours and labour cost, live
Every person's hours against their contract and the week's labour cost update as you fill the grid — so you see an expensive or uneven week before you publish it, not after payroll.
Cover a missing shift from the bench
When someone is unavailable or calls in sick, find a suitable colleague who is free and within their limits, and hand them the shift without rebuilding the week.
Approved leave and public holidays
Employees request leave in the app and you approve it in one step; approved time off is blocked out of the schedule. For each upcoming public holiday, you set your organisation's own ruling — open, closed or reduced hours.
Employees always know what changed
Publishing a schedule notifies the whole team in the app. Employees see only their own shifts, and leave decisions, swap requests and last-minute changes all flow back to them.
Greek and English, everywhere
Every screen, notification and export is available in Greek and English, and each employee receives their own updates in the language they prefer.
Built around Greek law
Compliance is the starting point, not an afterthought
Shift work in Greece is shaped by a specific set of rules. Vardies checks the rota against them while you build the week, and supports the reporting obligations your accountant and Ergani expect.

How it works
From your team to a published week, in three steps
- 1
Add your team
Invite employees by email and set each person's contract hours, days off, preferences and hourly rate.
- 2
Build the week
Create shifts on a Monday-to-Sunday grid. Rest, public holidays and overtime are checked as you go, and approved leave is already blocked out.
- 3
Publish and notify
Publish the schedule and every employee is notified, each in their own language. Cover later absences from the bench in a couple of clicks.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Who is Vardies for?
Small and medium Greek businesses with 5 to 50 employees — in hospitality, retail and healthcare — where the same people work different shifts each week.
Is it available in Greek?
Yes. Greek is the default language and every screen is also available in English. Each employee can also choose the language in which they receive their own updates.
How does it handle Greek labour law?
As you build the week, shifts are checked against daily and weekly rest, the night-work window, Sunday rest and overtime limits, and the statutory public holidays are built in. For each holiday you decide your organisation's own ruling.
Do I have to build every week from scratch?
No. Copy last week in one click, let the auto-scheduler fill the open cells, or lock the shifts you care about and shuffle the rest — the rules are checked every time.
What happens when an employee is sick?
You cover the shift from the bench: Vardies shows colleagues who are free and within their limits, so you can hand over the shift without rebuilding the week.
Can employees request leave?
Yes. Employees request leave in the app and you approve or decline it. Once approved, the time off is blocked out of the schedule automatically.
How much does it cost?
There is a free plan for up to 5 employees, and paid plans for larger teams from €19.00 a month, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Vardies runs in the browser on desktop and mobile, and employees are notified in the app.
