Mercadona closes 2021 expanding its current workforce. The company created by Juan Roig has not stopped growing in recent months, with the opening of numerous supermarkets, its arrival in Portugal, and the expansion of several of its logistics centers.
The Valencian chain has earned a place in the minds of workers for its good reputation in terms of its working conditions, with an agreement that has even been referenced
Mercadona makes a commitment to have most of its workforce with a permanent contract. Added to this is his leave policy, which can be extended up to 12 years for child care. The job in question is kept for one year, but during the rest of the period a return to the company is ensured.
To take care of dependent people, the leave also goes to 5 years, as in the case of victims of gender violence, which have a period of 18 months.
Another of the characteristics that have made Mercadona a reference is its bonus policy. The company has been sharing profits with its workers for 20 years, to whom it pays 3 extra payments in addition to this dividend.
It also stands out for paying 255 euros a month to managers who speak foreign languages and, above all, for implementing a revolution in the sector a year ago: the guaranteed two-day rest.
This measure allows all store personnel to work 5 days a week and enjoy 2 days off. But, in addition, this new working day introduces a pioneering initiative in the sector, since all Mercadona supermarket workers will have 8 long weekends a year (Saturday, Sunday and Monday).
Salaries from 1,340 to 2,900 euros per month
Mercadona publishes the salaries of its workers on its own website, so it is not a great mystery to know what conditions and salaries you can aspire to.
As detailed on its website, Mercadona workers have the following net salary based on their seniority:
– With a seniority of less than one year: 1,198 euros net per month.
– With a seniority of two years: 1,265 euros net per month.
– With an age of three years: 1,360 euros net per month.
– With a seniority of more than four years: 1,488 euros net per month.
If we add to this the aforementioned premiums for benefits plus extra payments, the average salary of basic staff is an average of 1,800 euros per month, prorating all of the above, and with an average for new employees of about 1,300.
How to join the Mercadona employment exchange
