Those who have been employed full-time during the vacation year, 1 May – 30 April each year, are entitled to the full holiday bonus. Alternatively, the bonus is paid in proportion to the employment proportion and length of work. The holiday bonus is a fixed amount; holiday allowance is not added.
A full year’s employment is 45 weeks minus vacation. Employees who have held consecutive employment with the same employer for 12 weeks over the last 12 months (as of 30 April) or are employed during the first week of May are entitled to a bonus.
Holiday bonuses are to be settled on termination of employment.
