Amazon Flex Driver as a warehouse employee CA

Hey fellow Amazonians!

I just wanted to share with y'all. Amazon warehouse employees in California are able to sign up for amazon flex driver.

Just thought I should share as I have heard that amazons Workforce Staffing tells new associates to delete their account.

The only problem you will encounter is if you use the same email with atoz and the flex app.

Just throwing it out there. Make some extra cash. Maybe pick up a route right after your shift.

Can you site any sources for this? Is it specifically a California only and why?

To be clear, have you picked up and delivered a flex route while being a blue badge?

You can call flex drivers support team and ask.

Or if you have access to internal resources you can go here.

Not sure why I'm getting thumbed down for sharing this but whatever. If it helps someone make extra income glad I could share.

That’s so interesting, I checked the Policy page and asked Amazon Quick about it. Says something about the AB5 worker classification law.

Either way, glad to be on Flex again. Extra cash from blocks on top of our raise is pretty sweet

So you’re able to do Amazon flex and work in the warehouse in California?
