Our Benefits

Salary paid employees are signed up to the healthcare scheme and are covered from the first day of employment. The provided scheme ensures that you are well equipped with cover for various healthcare issues that may arise. We encourage eligible employees to review the scheme thoroughly to ensure they understand what is offered.

From time to time we all unfortunately fall ill. In order to reduce the burden when this occurs, Lidl generously provides 20 days paid sick leave as part of our absence policy.

Throughout the year, we promote wellness initiatives to support your safety and wellbeing at Lidl. Initiatives range from supporting your physical and mental health to ensuring your safety in the workplace.

A free and confidential support programme that provides you, your spouse or partner and any dependents over the age of 16 living at home with immediate, 24/7 access to help and support in managing whatever work or personal issues you are facing. This includes free access to a nationwide network of fully qualified counsellors and experts in a variety of fields including financial advisors, legal professionals, career guidance, coaching and much more.

This forms part of your Laya Insurance Policy. Four appointments per year can be administered through this app, making it easier for you when you need to access a GP. Where a diagnosis is provided, prescriptions can be conveniently emailed to you. A note for your employer can also be obtained where necessary

Aimed at all employees throughout Ireland, this club is managed in-house by our employees themselves to arrange regular activities and events for all of us to take part in. Ideas are always welcomed by the club’s committee so don’t hesitate to get involved!

Death in Service payment provides a lump sum of twice the employees salary (after a minimum of 12 months of service) for the beneficiaries of an employee should they die whilst in service at Lidl. 

All employees have the opportunity to volunteer with our corporate charity partners (Jigsaw and NSPCC) or one of many other volunteer groups and organisations. Employees are entitled to claim one paid day for this volunteer day in recognition of their efforts.

Using the Bike to Work scheme, Lidl can help you attain a brand-new bike and safety equipment worth up to €1,250 (or €1,500 for an e-bike) of tax relief after a qualifying period of service. You can also utilise a salary sacrifice arrangement to pay for the bike over a 6-month period so that you can save up to 52% of the retail price. 

You can make a significant tax and PRSI saving on your daily commute using public transport when you opt for the annual or monthly commuter ticket for Luas, Bus or Rail after a qualifying period of service. Savings of up to 40% tax, 8% USC and 4% PRSI can be made. The ticket is purchased for you by Lidl and the payment is deducted from your salary. As this payment is taken from your gross salary you are paying tax on the lesser gross value and therefore making tax savings.
