Amazon will make a one-off payment of up to £500 for its hourly paid employees to help them with the cost of living crunch.
Employees will receive two instalments of £250, one this month and one later in December.
It comes as the tech firm has received some scrutiny over pay at its UK warehouses in recent months.
In a statement, Amazon said “Amazon employees receive competitive pay and comprehensive benefits.
“Starting pay is a minimum of between £10.50 and £11.45 per hour, depending on location.”
The e-commerce giant also said that its workers receive “a comprehensive benefits package” which includes private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, subsidised meals, and an employee discount.
