It's being called the "negative salary": Due to austerity measures in Greece, it's being reported that up to 64,000 Greeks will go without pay this month, and some will have to pay for having a job.

Today's "negative salary" deal—which could have government employees returning funds— reveals the real human impact of the austerity measures.
