Amazon offers ‘special recognition bonus’ to employees in India

Amazon on Monday said it will offer a “special recognition bonus” of up to Rs 6,300 to its employees in India, in line with similar payouts being made to staff in other countries.

The announcement comes amid a global campaign #MakeAmazonPay, which alleges that the e-commerce giant made big profits, but at a huge cost to workers and the planet.

In a blogpost, Amazon Worldwide Operations Senior Vice President Dave Clark said India operations employees who were employed by the company from October 16-November 13 will qualify for a bonus of Rs 6,300 for full-time employees and Rs 3,150 for part-time employees.
