Holiday and leave pay stamp for construction workers
Construction workers insured with building-trade stamps receive their holiday bonuses and leave pay (the «adeiodorosimo») from e-EFKA three times a year. No application is needed; you only need to have registered your IBAN with e-EFKA.
No fixed amount: the employer's contribution (25% of your gross earnings), minus the employee contribution, three times a year

What it is
Construction workers do not receive the Christmas and Easter bonuses and leave pay from their employer. The employer pays a contribution for them to e-EFKA (formerly ELDEO), and e-EFKA pays them to the insured workers as the «adeiodorosimo».
Who: those who work as construction workers and are insured under the Construction Workers' Insurance Regulation. The amount relates to work already done, so you receive it even if you are unemployed today.
How much: there is no fixed amount. The employer pays a contribution equal to 25% of your gross earnings, and you receive that amount after the employee contribution is deducted.
When: three times a year — at Easter (for work in September–December), in August (for January–April) and at Christmas (for May–August). For example, on 7 August 2026 e-EFKA paid the stamp to 91,455 construction workers.
How to apply: no application is needed. Register your IBAN with e-EFKA; if you register it after the calculation, the amount is paid in the next four-month period. The right expires five years after 1 January of the year following the payment order.
