Amazon Plans to Offer $500 million as Holiday Bonus to Front-line Staff

E-commerce giant, Amazon.com Inc., plans to offer special recognition bonus, totaling more than $500 million to its front-line employees. U.S. Operations employees who are employed by the company from December 1 to December 31 will qualify for a bonus of $300 for full-time employees and $150 for part-time employees.

 

Combined with other holiday pay incentives, in this quarter alone Amazon is investing over $750 million in additional pay for its front-line hourly workforce, on top of the $15 national minimum wage. This brings the total spent on special bonuses and incentives for the teams globally to over $2.5 billion in 2020, including a $500 million 'thank you' bonus earlier this year.

 

In a blog post, Dave Clark, SVP of Amazon Worldwide Operations, wrote, "Our teams are doing amazing work serving customers' essential needs, while also helping to bring some much-needed holiday cheer for socially-distanced families around the world. I've never been more grateful for—or proud of—our teams."
