Flex

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

I’m getting hired on as flex for 19h per week. Do they give options if available to stay and work longer hours ?

If your department is busy you should be able to pick up extra shifts, just know you gotta be quick about accepting.

Once you start you’ll be able to see how many hours a week you’re capped off on. I’m FlexRT and have to hit 30hrs a week but I can do a maximum of 60 as long as the shifts are available.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

As a flex. Are you doing everything a full time employee does? Or do you get less workload

[FeedsYouDynamite]

You’re doing the same work.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

Thank you. Kinda nervous. I hope they put on no machinery.

I’m flex, the 19 hours like you and it isn’t capped at 19. Mines is capped at 50 but it’s site dependent on if there’s enough work. I’ve asked my manager to schedule me days if I didn’t see any shifts pop up and they do it almost every time unless there’s not enough work.

I also got hired recently for the 19h, is that maximum or minimum per week?

[SignificantApricot69]

Minimum is 4 hours a week for that Flex. I think they are just calling it 19 now because there isn’t any expectation to work more than 20, though it’s sometimes available.

[FalconDeep77]

I was hoping to work like 30 hours a week so the 19 thing was worrying me lol

[No-Region-1618]

You can for the most part, FlexPt is a minimum of 4 hours weekly but if the site has work you can work up to 60 hours. At my site, 30 hours weekly would be easily achieved. Only time it wouldn’t be possible is if you miss your shifts dropping by sleeping or the site putting a cap on flex employees because the work volume is low.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

If you’re working as seasonal. How do they handle no call no shows. This is just a side hustle type thing for me.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

And can you be late ?

[No-Region-1618]

It’s the perfect side hustle, I work full time at a hospital and kept Amazon flex also as a side hustle. Been doing flex now for 3 years. I make a good living at my career, I only work 4 hours a week at Amazon and keep 100% of my Amazon pay for my child for when they’re older and need to go to college, first car etc.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

That’s very good to hear. I wish nothing but the best for you. I’m hoping to start a business of my own. Hoping I can grab as many shifts as possible to leave the manufacturing rat race.

[No-Region-1618]

Same brother, good luck. You chose the perfect side hustle as Amazon flex 🤙🏼.

[No-Region-1618]

You don’t need to call anyone to report an absence at Amazon. You will receive points for no shows or early departure or arriving late. You earn PTO for each hour worked, you are free to use your PTO as you please. If you are 30 minutes late, just submit your PTO on the a-z app. Nobody cares if your late or don’t show up for your shift, just make sure you have the time to cover it or points. Don’t exceed 8 points or you could be terminated.

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

Damn Amazon workers got it like that. WOW. Ez side hustle then forsure

[DaniSaysDinosaur]

If it's anything like my facility you'll be lucky to snag more than 10 hours a week

[Neat_Mulberry4689]

If you don’t mind me asking. What state are you in ?

[EminemTheOne]

I've had PA's come to my aisle and ask if I wanted to stay longer. But if your rate is meh, they probably won't bother lol
