The Jerónimo Martins Group will invest approximately 75 million euros to award an extraordinary bonus to around 90,000 of its operations employees (mostly from stores and distribution centres) in Portugal, Poland and Colombia.
The Jerónimo Martins Board of Directors today approved the proposal of its Chairman, Pedro Soares dos Santos, to award this bonus, to be paid in April, in recognition of the work and contribution of these employees towards the results obtained in 2022.
In Portugal, this extraordinary bonus will be in the amount of 750 euros, 200 euros more than the previous amount paid, and will be awarded to around 22,000 employees, corresponding to an investment of over 15 million euros. This individual bonus is paid on top to their variable monthly pay and the employee support programmes and initiatives focusing on healthcare, education and family well-being.
The Jerónimo Martins Group employs over 34,000 employees in Portugal, and a total of more than 130,000 employees in the three countries where it does business.
