| Amazon chose Slovakia for its top returns centre |

| The online retainer lures its future workers by wages and benefits.
Though Amazon, one of the world’s largest online retailers, refuses to make public the price-tag of a state-of-the-art returns centre it is now building in Sereď in western Slovakia, it did reveal the remuneration packages for entry-level positions. It hopes that by what it calls one of the highest wages in the sector, it will manage to recruit the 1,000 workers it plans to hire over next three years.
“Opening of this specialised returns centre is a reflection of our need to maintain the current level of service and certainty for customers as we continue to grow,” said Roy Perticucci, Vice President of the Amazon EU Customer Fulfillment, when showing the construction site to government representatives as well as journalists on May 12.
But experts warn that in this region, with its low jobless rate and plenty of work opportunities, the pool of free workers is shallow and the American company will have to “steal” workers from other companies.
Amazon has already started the recruitment process for entry-level associates. Hourly wages start at €4.6 per hour, up to €6.5 per hour. Amazon offers an additional 20 percent bonus for attendance and performance.
Thus if an entry-level employee works for Amazon full-time, together with a 20 percent bonus he will make over €920 per month. On top of that he will receive the 13th month bonus, along with a benefits package including: life insurance, additional pension insurance, private health care and the Career Choice programme. Under the latter, Amazon pre-pays 95 percent of tuition fees for entry-level employees who have one year’s tenure, for four years.
In the district of Galanta to which Sereď belongs to, the jobless rate in March was 2.88 percent with 1,455 jobseekers able to take a job immediately based on data from the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family (ÚPSVaR). Vacancies in this district number about 1,800.
