I’m not sure if this is a rumor or if it’s true, but Amazon is paying workers on Amazon.com to work on Monday, which is the first day of the holiday. Amazon employees are paid about $10 per hour, which is less than half what the typical retail worker gets, and the company is paying for the actual work, not the labor.
Amazon’s pay plan is pretty typical of many corporations in America, which is to pay the employee a flat rate whether or not they get a paycheck on a given day. Amazon’s pay schedule isn’t ideal, but it’s more like what you would get if you worked at the local Walmart, and not like the Walmart employees are actually getting paid.
Amazon employees actually do get paid, but it’s not the same pay as the retail worker. Amazon’s plan is so typical the pay is not really comparable to the retail employee. Amazon employees are treated differently than retail employees, as they are under the same contract and have the same benefits and pay.
Amazon, on the other hand, will never truly pay retail employees. It’s very much akin to the company trying to pay the employees of Walmart, which is not really the same thing. Amazon pays its employees different than Walmart, but its not the same thing. Amazon does pay their employees pretty well, but that doesn’t mean that they are actually paying the same as Walmart.
It would be kind of a strange way for the company to pay Walmart’s employees more than its employees. But it does pay retail employees quite a bit better. But its even more strange to pay retail employees more than Walmart. Amazon pays its employees better than Walmart, but Walmart pays its employees better than Amazon.
The fact is that Walmart pays its employees more than Amazon, but Amazon pays its workers better than Walmart. In other words, Walmart pays its workers better because it makes more money. Amazon pays its workers less because it makes less money. But Walmart actually pays its workers more than Amazon. Thats a pretty good example of how companies treat their employees.
That brings us to our next point…
Amazon has a big advantage over Walmart because it is a company that works in the black. Walmart is a company that makes money by having to hire some shady labor practices. A company that is in the black is a company that makes a ton of money. Amazon, in contrast, is a company in the gray. Amazon is a company that makes money by having to pay some shady labor practices, or paying its employees less.
As many of you are aware, Amazon has a bit of a reputation for paying its employees less. However, when you check their stats, you’ll find that their paychecks are actually pretty reasonable. Amazon’s workers earn about $0.30 per hour less than Walmart’s. If you were to compare the amount Amazon pays its employees to the amount you would pay for the same job from the same company, Amazon would pay you a fraction of what Walmart pays its employees.
In Amazon’s defense, there are a lot of factors that affect how much you should be paying your employees, such as the hours you work, company size, and what you’re actually charged for. Most of the time, it’s not that hard to figure out if your company is paying its employees more than the average so you can pay them less.
