Really upset 😢 i got an email from them saying my UPT was in the negative...i think 3hours ..then they saying they are going further with the process of separating from Amazon i love the job i usually do packing or singles just been struggling with standing awake 😢
How much is the starting pay now? I know they bumped up from the $15. I keep seeing $17+ on Indeed, is that correct? I'm so happy it's working out for you!
The pay scale is different between states and it also depends on if you work night shift, or weekends only. Probably the most profitable shift you’ll benefit from the Differential pay from working overnight additional pay for working only weekends. Amazon is an amazing place to work. Everything is done through the app.
My boyfriend lives in Cleveland and his trying to transfer to Miami but these people at his job the HR is making things hard for him and asking him that he needs a reason like why!? What does his reason have to do with him moving that’s his choice. But anyways what can he do in this situation should he give his two weeks notice and just reapply in Miami ?
I’m suppose to start 9/5 my info has the name of my manager n the department name Receiving . Are there more than 1 types of jobs in receiving?

I’m older n not looking forward to the back/foot pain.
What does a lead fulfillment associate do? I got hired 1 week after my interview.its going on 3 weeks and I haven't heard anything from the company that is gonna do my drug test and background check.
Jeannie Chavez Lead Fulfillment associate is called Process Assistant. I just got promoted to Process Assistant and our job is to 1.

Can you help me understand holidays. For example I f I work Wednesday-Saturday thanksgiving will be on a Thursday, is it mandatory to work and get the 1.5 holiday pay or do I have options to not work and still get holiday pay? Doesn't have to be thanksgiving I understand it's busy season but say same thing for 4th of July or another holiday on my normal scheduled day..what happens? Thanks!
My fiance works at Amazon as a stower. Every holiday even if he doesn't work he gets 6hrs of holiday pay. If you were to work for example 10hrs on the holiday you would get holiday pay for the 10hrs AND the extra 6hrs on top of it.
Hi Jackie, I just applied for Amazon for a night shift Thurs-Saturday, however, I’m only interested in working every other weekend. I scheduled the Hire Event but haven’t attended yet. Do you know who I would speak to about this? Should I reach out now or wait? Thanks!
I would definitely say to wait. Amazon just had too many employees and getting reach of someone is hard unless your already there on the job. They also offer flex schedule but I think that has to be after a certain amount of time working there. Trying talking to HR on your first day there to see if there able to do an exception and change your schedule.
You have no choice even if you are blue badge. There may be transfer opp but only as a blue badge. You have zero choices there. You work what you are given.
@@jacklyn3469 I’m working the same shift as you Sunday to Wednesday 6:30pm to 5:00am and I’m getting paid 15.50 plus a $.60 and a bonus of $2 till January then I will go back to $16.10 that’s adding the $.60
how do you access vto through the app or talk to a manager the same day cuz when i get the notification on my phone it always grayed out and says full but it can’t be full so quick right?
If they offer it before the shift you’ll get a Notification on your phone once it’s offer. It does fill up quick so if you want it take it quick. If it’s not offer before your shift speak with your manager and if they offer it you can take it. VTO is great because it’s your own personal time off and can’t be used against you. You just don’t go to your shift or you leave early.
Do you still working at amazon ? does it hard job for women ? I'm over 40 years old, I watched many video about working at amazon, most of them said it bad and hard job.
It’s simple but it is a heavy job 40+ lbs of lifting I work at a fulfillment center and I am exhausted I want to say if I wasn’t in shape I would have a lot of trouble luckily my managers and people there are very helpful but that’s my experience so far
It just depends on how your own personal body reacts to the workload, if you are active and get rest you should be fine! ..Try it for yourself only you will know if it's hard or not!
No you are actually doing them a favor by taking it because they only offer it when they have too may employees for the day and not enough work so you are helping them out by just taking the day off because they don’t need you. It improves the site numbers and stuff
Vet is time and. Half and if you work a holiday you get the holiday pay(8 hours for full time less for flex and part time) and you get 1.5 pay if you work the day of the holiday on top of the holiday pay
Yeah we get paid time and a half for VET. And like Sean said above it’s 8hrs for full time for holiday pay. Upt doesn’t sound bad though! We get upt every 3 months
I would think so too. Are you a permanent hire or seasonal? If seasonal, that may be why. I was a blue badge/permanent. I got night differential. My schedule was 5pm-3:30am
@@jacklyn3469 Seasonal. I asked HR at my location and was told that the wrap up from 11:30 PM to 3:30 AM has to be completed At least four times during the week to get differential…sounds crazy to me. 🤷🏽♀️
Upt is usually automatically accepted. So is pto. You should get a message the next day latest saying you have an unpaid deduction and it’ll say how many hours and what day.
i submitted upt and it still says im still scheduled and i haven’t gotten a message saying it’s been approved ? how will i know if it’s approved? do they wait the week of to accept it ?
Upt is an automated system. So it will be automatically deducted the day of your shift. For example if I’m feeling sick one day and just don’t show up, it’ll be deducted automatically the day of that shift your missing. So technically you don’t even have to request the day if your planning on using upt.
So dumb for still not understanding .. so if I PTO ( personal time off ) for 9 hours , if my shift is 9 hours. Will I be getting paid those 9 hours of PTO ( personal time off ) because I be hearing a lot “ paid time off aka PTO “ like so paid time off is personal time off ? I’m sorry , thanks 😐
The app should tell you how long your vto is. I think it would be pointless for you to go in for the remaining time though. I’ve only gotten my full 10 for vto. You can also set up Amazon chime. It’s an app where you can communicate directly with your department managers if you have any questions.
You might want to have your smoke alarm fixed before you make another video it was very annoying and it kept my dog barking the entire time that I tried to watch. Needless to say I won't be tuning into any more of your videos

They have been great so far. Haven’t had any issues with any of them. Communication could be alittle better.

Hey great video! Did they hold a week pay so did it take teo weeks to get paid at first?

VTO is offered everywhere and no you can not request a schedule change thru A to Z you should contact HR about that
VTOs are given by managers. They ask you if it is available to give out that day.
