Compensation for Amazon Flex drivers is structured around pre-determined time blocks. This payment model means drivers agree to work for a specific period and receive a set amount in return for completing deliveries during that time. For example, a driver might accept a three-hour block and be paid a fixed sum for it, regardless of whether the deliveries take exactly three hours or slightly less.
This system offers both predictability and potential flexibility. Drivers know the minimum they will earn for the time committed, enabling budgeting and financial planning. Historically, this model has been a central aspect of the Amazon Flex program, attracting individuals seeking supplementary income or a flexible alternative to traditional employment. The fixed payment approach differentiates it from purely mileage-based or per-delivery compensation structures.
