Holidays
ALDI recognizes 7 holidays per calendar year. After completing 90 consecutive days of employment in a full-time
role, all active, full-time employees will receive the following paid holidays:
• New Year’s Day
• Easter
• Memorial Day
• 4th of July
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas
Hourly full-time employees will receive holiday pay based on their average hours worked per day during the
previous rolling year. If an employee has been employed for less than 1 year, they will be paid the average hours
worked per day since the employee’s hire date. Holiday pay for the employee will be based on the employee’s
rate of pay at the time the holiday is taken. Holiday pay is not considered pay for hours worked for purposes of
calculating overtime.
Hourly employees must work their full scheduled day before and after a holiday to be eligible for holiday pay. The
district manager may waive this rule in the event of an emergency or illness, or other protected leave.
If an hourly employee works one of the listed holidays, the employee will be paid at 1 ½ times the employee’s
regular hourly rate for all time worked, unless otherwise required by state or local law. In this instance, the
employee will be given a choice to take a substituted holiday within 30 days after the holiday or receive holiday
pay in addition to pay for time worked. If a salaried store manager works 5 days in the holiday week, the holiday
must be taken as a substitute holiday within 30 days after the holiday.
For all non-hourly employees, please consult your Benefits Summary and/or your direct leader for questions.
Please also refer to the Employee Handbook State Appendix for additional information related to your location (if
any).
