Question 1

When is vacation pay paid out at Albert Heijn?

AH Betaaldagen · Accepted Answer

How and when vacation pay is paid at Albert Heijn depends on your contract:

**All-in hourly rate (most common for flex workers and on-call employees):**
Vacation pay and vacation hours are already included in your hourly rate. You receive this with every salary payment, spread throughout the year. On your pay slip, these are shown as separate components.

**Permanent contracts:**
Employees with a permanent contract may receive vacation pay as a separate payment, typically in spring (period 5 or 6). Check your employment contract or ask your manager for the exact arrangement that applies to you.

Question 2

When is my salary paid during holidays?

You can find the 2025 and 2026 pay dates on the homepage of this website. From there you can subscribe to the calendar, which updates automatically. Note that dates may change if they fall on public holidays; in that case your salary is paid on the next business day.
