Amazon has announced that parents and grandparents working in its UK warehouses can now have access to “term time-only contracts” to allow employees to juggle childcare responsibilities with work more easily.
That means six weeks off in the summer, and two more at Easter and Christmas, when schools are closed. Amazon says that this won’t impact a worker’s entitlement to full-time benefits which, according to the Jobs at Amazon site, include health and financial insurance plans, matched pension contributions and employee discounts.
