Amazon offers to help employees start delivery business.

NEW YORK -- Amazon, which is racing to deliver packages faster, is turning to its own employees with a proposition: Quit your job and we'll help you start a business delivering Amazon packages.

Amazon says it will cover up to $10,000 in startup costs for employees who are accepted into the program and leave their jobs. Those who participate will be able to lease blue vans with the Amazon smile logo stamped on the side. The company says it will also pay them three months' worth of their salary.

Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. declined to say how many employees it expects to take them up on the offer.
