Our Benefits

Flexible working hours – Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, within the framework of our flextime model, you can determine the start and end of your daily working hours yourself. Furthermore, we offer a variety of working time models to best accommodate your individual needs.

38.5 hours – The standard working time is 38.5 hours for a 5-day week.

Home Office – We aim to provide you with maximum flexibility. In consultation with your supervisor, you have the option to work from home.

Time-saving model – Should you need to work longer hours on occasion, you can build up time credits and use them on an hourly or daily basis. Enjoy up to 3 bridge days per year, during which you automatically have time off and can enjoy extended weekends.

Sabbatical – We love our work, but we understand that sometimes a short break is needed to recharge. In consultation with your supervisor, you can take a sabbatical. It allows you to accumulate time initially and then use it for travel or other endeavors. Our HR department will gladly provide you with more information on the various possibilities.

Loyalty leave – We are particularly proud that our employees tend to stay with us longer than the industry average. As a small recognition, after 10 years at AVL, you will receive two additional vacation days per year.
