All of Amazon and Whole Foods' full- and part-time workers will have access to the benefit through Oct. 2.
Starting today through Oct. 2, all of Amazon's 650,000 part- and full-time U.S. employees, including Whole Foods associates, will have access to 10 days of subsidized emergency backup child or adult care. Amazon moved to offer backup daycare as a result of new challenges experienced by working parents during the coronavirus crisis, the company said.
The benefit is offered through Care.com, which allows users to request backup care online or via an app. Amazon will cover more than 90% of the cost of the service, the company said. Employees pay a co-pay of $25 per day for in-center childcare or $5 per hour for in-home child or adult care.
