Where will you spend your vacation bonus?
By Maarten Verhoef

A sleek sports car, a new interior for your man cave, or a stack of stylish clothing. What do you dream of? It's that wonderful time of year again: soon you'll receive a nice bonus in your bank account. Holiday pay will be distributed over the coming months! So that leaves just one question: what will you spend your holiday pay on? We have some suggestions!
Now that temperatures are finally rising and everything is in bloom, you're naturally looking forward to summer and possibly your vacation. You probably still have to wait a while for that. Fortunately, you have something to look forward to in the meantime: holiday pay will soon be paid out again. This is the perfect little treat that gets you excited and motivated to go to work during the warm summer months.
What is holiday pay again?
A quick refresher: what is holiday pay again? In the Netherlands, employees receive a nice allowance. In common parlance we call this holiday pay, but the official term is actually 'holiday bonus'. It's possible to process this allowance in the monthly payslip. Often it's chosen to pay it out in one lump sum. That looks a bit nicer in your bank account, of course. Usually this bonus is paid out around June. This can vary per employer.
Enjoy a little extra
Enough about the business and legal side – time for the fun part! What will you spend your holiday pay on? Do you already have something in mind or had you already forgotten about that nice extra allowance? Dreaming about what you'll do with it is almost as fun as receiving the holiday pay itself. However you spend it, the most important thing is that you enjoy that allowance. You've (legally) earned it after all! Perhaps it's a nice idea to give your wardrobe an upgrade?
