Amazon Launches Term-Time Contracts, Allowing Workers to Work Only During School Terms

Amazon has launched term-time contracts that allow workers to work only during school terms.

01 June 2023 · 02:53 UTC

This option is available to all employees in the UK, who have the right to request flexible working.

Amazon's contracts guarantee time off during the six-week summer break, two-week Easter and Christmas holiday periods.

Other companies, such as Hargreaves Lansdown and Marks & Spencer, are open to exploring the possibility of offering similar contracts.

However, most companies, including Deloitte and Virgin Media, do not offer term-time-only contracts.
