The Jerónimo Martins Group has increased the amount of the extraordinary annual bonus to 500 euros, awarded to operations employees (stores and distribution centres). This bonus, the amount of which is the same in Poland, Portugal and Colombia, rewards performance and shares recognition of the results achieved in 2019. It is set to be awarded to approximately 71,500 employees in all three countries.
In Portugal, 80% of eligible employees will be awarded the bonus, corresponding to nearly 21 thousand people and an investment of around 10 million euros.
The Jerónimo Martins’ Board of Directors approved its Chairman Pedro Soares dos Santos’ proposal to increase the bonus by 5%, compared to the previous year. This increase is higher than the sales growth of the Companies in Portugal, which, in 2019, posted an increase of 3% year-on-year.
