How many hours can you work at Amazon?

When it comes to Amazon Warehouse Associates, for example, they typically work 12-hour shifts with lots of opportunities for overtime at a busy location. While the same position at a more rural location may only work 8-hour shifts. It really depends on how busy that distribution center is and how many employees they have on staff.

Example of a typical schedule for an hourly Amazon worker based on time of day:

• Early Morning - Work early in the morning and get a jump start on your day - most early morning shifts earn more per hour, too. A typical early morning shift starts between 4:00 am and 6:00 am and ends between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

• Day - Depending on the location and department, day shifts typically start between 6:00 am and 8:00 am and end between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm local time.

• Night - Evening and overnight shifts give you your days back. These shifts typically start between 10:00 pm and 4:00 am and end between 5:00 am and 7:00 am local time - most of these shifts earn more per hour, too.

• Weekends - For those that want to add an extra shift or two to their schedule. These shifts may have a higher pay rate per hour, too. Depending on the site, weekend shifts typically start Friday at 7:30 pm, are any time on Saturday, and are until 6:00 pm local time on Sunday.
