Amazon didn't give its UK warehouse workers a full day off for the Queen's funeral
Two workers told Insider that the retail giant went part-way to giving its workers time off to mark the event but stopped short of giving them a full shift off.The Amazon workers in separate warehouses said that the company gave staff an extra eight hours of time off.
Insider viewed a post on Amazon's worker app Amazon A to Z that confirmed the company was offering eight hours of time off on the day of the funeral. He added part-time workers were only offered a proportion of the eight hours off depending on how many hours they worked per week — so while a full-time worker who works 40 hours a week got eight hours, a worker with a 20-hour work week only got four.As a part-time worker he still worked full ten-hour shifts, meaning he would have to make up the difference.
Both workers told Insider warehouse workers had to request the time off, meaning managers had the ability to deny it.
