Question 2

How do I apply for employee discount?

AH Betaaldagen · Accepted Answer

As an Albert Heijn employee, you get 10% employee discount on your groceries by using the employee bonus card. This discount is automatically applied at the checkout and is paid every three periods with your salary. After starting employment, you'll receive an email from Albert Heijn within four weeks with an invitation to activate your personal bonus card. Follow the steps in the email to link your card to your account. You can then use your card at all Albert Heijn stores (not at franchise stores). Note: the discount doesn't apply to tobacco, liquor store items, gift cards, deposits, and certain promotions. More information about the employee discount conditions can be found on Sam.

Question 3

When is my employee discount paid?

AH Betaaldagen · Accepted Answer

Your employee discount is paid every three periods together with your salary. The payment takes place in periods 4, 7, and 11 of the year. The amount of the employee discount is based on the purchases you made in the previous three periods. This is automatically calculated and added to your payslip. Make sure to always use your employee bonus card when checking out, so your discount is correctly registered.

Question 4

How much employee discount can I receive maximum?

You can receive a maximum of €75 in employee discount per quarter, with an annual maximum of €300. The discount is calculated on the total amount of your groceries and paid afterwards with your salary.
