No forms needed: Amazon workers will receive an average of $565.43 each in back pay
According to TheSuns, Amazon agreed to pay $3.6 million to its employees who worked between July 2017 and November 2023. This is because the company allegedly failed to properly pay some workers. Some workers received bonuses and overtime pay around the same time, but Amazon did not add them to their regular pay.
Affected employees do not need to fill out any forms to receive their money. Instead, they will receive a payment of around $565.43 each.
