[Online retail giant Amazon is to offer one-off
payments of up to £3,000 in order to attract
staff in UK regions where there is
high demand for labour.
The online retailer is hiring for 20,000 positions
across its UK network during the festive season.
Fears over worker shortages have already
prompted other firms to warn of problems
in the run-up to Christmas.
Amazon began offering a £1,000 signing-on bonus
to recruit permanent staff in some regions in August.
As first reported in the Guardian, the company's
latest recruitment drive has
included
a £3,000 bonus for full-time workers
at sites such as its Exeter warehouse,
while in Peterborough, new temporary and
permanent workers are offered a
sign-up bonus of £1,500.
Pay for the temporary roles starts
at a minimum of £10 per hour, rising
to £11.10 in some parts of the UK.]
