Amazon is offering a £50 weekly bonus for permanent staff at some UK locations for turning up to work on time.
The reward is for people who have 100% attendance, excluding time taken off for sickness linked to disability and Covid.
Amazon said the enticement would help it meet summer and Christmas demand.
Last week, the online retail giant advertised a £1,000 joining bonus for new warehouse workers.
It comes as the UK labour market continues to rebound, with UK job vacancies at a record high in August.
The attendance bonus will be offered at sites including Amazon warehouses in Durham and Gateshead.
An Amazon spokesperson said: “We are currently offering an attendance bonus at a number of locations to permanent associates to support our summer demand and help us prepare for the festive season ahead.”
The bonus will be paid per week, and will be based on 100% attendance for all scheduled shifts, excluding absences under the Equality Act and relating to Covid.
