The LIDL Company-Wide Agreement demonstrates that it is possible to negotiate effective flexibility while improving workers' income, establishing a welfare system through expanded sickness, maternity, civil union, and healthcare benefits, and reinforcing and redefining work organization and work-life balance, as requested on the platform.
Trade union rights
You can appoint union representatives and hold meetings, even in branches with 14 to 8 employees. You can discuss all issues related to work organization in your "Region."
Working Hours
Your work schedule is scheduled biweekly and calculated for every minute of regular, overtime, or additional work.
Sunday work
If you work on Sundays and rest on another day, you will receive the 135% supplement for each hour, even if Sundays are included in your contract. If you work overtime or additional hours, in addition to the 135% supplement, you will also receive the hourly rate, bringing your pay to 235% for all hours worked.
Experimental part-time
A part-time trial is underway in two warehouses and 30 branches. If you wish, you can permanently increase your weekly hours by five, allowing for flexibility and variability in your work schedule. If you don't like the new schedule, you can return to your original part-time schedule whenever you like.
Missions
Each time you go on a mission, you'll receive a mileage reimbursement of €0.35, and the company won't be able to send you further than 40 km from your branch.
Welfare
We have contractually provided for civil unions certain benefits reserved for marriage. If you have a child, you can take unpaid leave up to one year of age, if you wish. You can request parental leave on an hourly basis, even in conjunction with other leave, such as breastfeeding. In the event of illness resulting from an injury, you will retain your job until recovery, as will the case for serious illness.
Shopping vouchers and birth vouchers
Each year, you'll receive a €100.00 shopping voucher, distributed in two installments, to spend within the company network. Mothers and fathers will receive an additional one-time €100.00 shopping voucher for each child. These payments are the same for part-time and full-time employees.
Holiday donation
We've decided to set up a platform where workers can donate vacation time to less fortunate colleagues, and the company will also contribute.
Committees for Relations, Security, and Equal Opportunities
The new Supplementary Contract provides for worker participation in company decisions on these issues. The health insurance contract stipulated with UNISalute is effective in the event of illness and injury. and is complementary to the East Fund.
