Amazon Paying More Than $500 Million to Front Line Employees

E-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) says workers who put in time in June, whether on a part-time or full-time basis, will share in a total payout of approximately half a billion dollars in "thank you" bonuses. Only those employees who worked throughout the entire month will qualify, but the number eligible still runs into hundreds of thousands of individuals.

The smallest bonuses, $150, go to "Amazon Flex drivers" who clocked a minimum of 10 hours during the month, and go up from there. Part-time Delivery Service Partner drivers and part-time workers will get $250 apiece, while full-time workers and drivers will pocket $500. Those in leadership will get more, with $1,000 in bonuses going to front-line leaders at Whole Foods and Amazon, and $3,000 to Delivery Service Partner owners.
