Question 5

What about the salary?

The salary naturally varies between jobs and employers. You can find out about or negotiate the salary in advance in a personal (video) interview with the respective employer. After that, you can decide whether to accept the offer or not. Of course, you can always opt to decline a job offer or contact us if you have any questions.

Important: we only put you in touch with employers and do not conduct salary negotiations.

Question 6

During which seasons are there job opportunities? What season is it right now?

Accepted Answer

A distinction is made between summer and winter seasons. However, the exact dates will vary from employer to employer. We have seasonal jobs on offer all year round.

Question 7

Is there a minimum period of time I need to be available?

Accepted Answer

For a seasonal job, you should be available for at least three months (12 weeks) at a time. The ideal period is the whole season from Easter to the end of October (summer season) or from November to April (winter season). This is because employers always prefer seasonal staff who can stay as long as possible, so they can avoid frequent new staff inductions and plan a stable team for the whole season.

Question 8

What are the working hours? How many hours per week?

Accepted Answer

Most positions are full-time. With a five-day week, you will usually work 40 hrs/week; on a 6-day schedule this will generally be 48 hrs/week. Because these are seasonal periods, overtime work is common in accordance with the law and will be reduced or compensated. Very occasionally, part-time positions may also be available at 20-30 hrs/week, but these are the exception.

Question 9

How will I be employed and by whom?

Accepted Answer

Each job is always arranged directly with the employer.

Question 10

Is accommodation provided?

Accepted Answer

Our hero seekers (employers) have accommodation specifically for employees. The type of accommodation varies from employer to employer. The accommodation is not usually free of charge but is priced well below the standard rental rates in the region. You can discuss the specific type of accommodation with the hero seeker in your (video) interview.

Question 11

Will travel expenses be covered?

Accepted Answer

Any payment of travel expenses must be agreed individually with the hero seeker (employer). In many cases, travel expenses are covered.

Question 12

Who can I contact if I have a problem?

Accepted Answer

Question 13
