Short Work Break
Focus on life outside of work, if and when you need it
Amazon understands that life is unpredictable, and people need time off for a lot of reasons – that's why we have you covered with Short Work Breaks. Whether it's related to life milestones, health, or just general time away, associates can take the time they need away from work to get everything in order and make sure they return at their best.
It was very easy and convenient for me to return to work.
