Reliable scheduling
We understand how important it is to have reliable information when planning ahead. At EGGER, you will know when you will be working so planning for life outside of work is easy!

The shift system suits me perfectly – lots of free time during the week. I can get things done and spend time with the family.
Shift allowance above the industry standard
In our industry, shift work is critical. But working unusual and changing hours should pay off for you. That's why we pay shift differentials above the industry standard and use a straightforward and transparent model.
- Reliable on-time payment
- Shift allowances above the industry standard
Depending on your role at EGGER, we pay shift allowances, for example, for:
- Night shifts up to 40% shift allowance
- Shifts on weekends and public holidays
- Overtime on weekends and public holidays
- Rotating shifts

My loved ones are over the moon that I can take several accrued days off in one shot.
Flexitime
EGGER offers flexitime for those who don't work shifts. This means that outside of core hours, and depending on your workload, you decide when your workday starts and ends. Many coworkers adjust their schedules so they can leave at noon on Friday and start the weekend early.
Time for loved ones
Having a fixed full-time schedule can make attending to pressing personal matters difficult. Something as simple as seeing a doctor or dentist can turn into a challenge. At EGGER, we have established a supportive environment that helps you to balance work and personal responsibilities.
- Part-time options for parents-to-be
- Flexibility in arranging working hours
Downtime, free time, me time
Having enough downtime and free time enhances our overall well-being. A healthy balance between work and play allows us to be more positive positive in working together. Whether it's to recharge, experience new things, or relax, at EGGER, we want you to have time for yourself and people and things important to you.
Paid holidays
At EGGER, you enjoy paid holidays
Paid days off for special occasions
Certain moments in life deserve a little extra time, whether it's a wedding, moving house, or your annual family holiday. That's why EGGER gives you time off for special occasions
