Amazon Increases Pay and Hiring Incentives for Peak Season
Sign-On Bonuses, Increased Wages, and Hiring Spree
Amazon is significantly increasing pay and hiring incentives for associates during its upcoming peak season.
The e-commerce giant has announced hourly pay increases of $2 to $3 for many of its facilities. In addition, sign-on bonuses of up to $3,000 are being offered for various positions.
This hiring push comes as Amazon plans to add over 150,000 workers to its staff this October. The sign-on bonus is part of a broader package of incentives that also includes holiday bonuses, extra pay during peak season, and bonuses for voluntarily resigning.
Amazon's decision to increase pay and offer sign-on bonuses is a reflection of the competitive labor market. The company is facing challenges in hiring and retaining workers, especially during the peak season when demand for its services surges.
