The eCommerce giant made that announcement Tuesday (Oct. 20) as it began its annual holiday recruitment effort, aiming to hire 300,000 workers for the season, 50,000 more than last year’s goal.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, seasonal employees working at least 30 hours a week will be offered coverage on their first day, Amazon said.

“That means anyone who joins us in these qualifying seasonal roles now or in the future will have access to healthcare—whether they join us for the holidays or at another point in the year since we hire seasonal employees year-round,” Amazon’s announcement added.

In addition, Amazon is offering a new benefit called “Day 1 Financial,” which gives qualified workers and their families banking through First Tech Federal Credit Union, a membership those employees can keep for life.

Amazon is looking for workers to fill seasonal, part-time and full-time positions, with job postings due be posted each week from October through December.
