In all cases, employees will be expected to work at least occasional late, overnight, and weekend shifts, serving customers in other timezones. All the jobs pay R67.35 per hour with an expected 40-hour week, which comes to roughly R13 000 per month.The preconditions to apply are not particularly onerous. To get one of the jobs, you have to be at least 18 and have matric or equivalent. On top of that, Amazon is looking for one year of experience, ideally in tech support for the more technical roles, but also in a call centre or in "high-end retail".
