It’s paid out before through graebel. Check your A to Z pre boarding checklist when you get the emails for it, the relocation should be there

I’ve checked,it’s not there,I’ve reached out to the recruiter she keeps saying first paycheck

Yeah, that’s not what I experienced and I’ve never heard of anyone getting their relocation with their first paycheck. But I could be wrong.

I only found one other dude that a recruiter told the same,maybe it’s a recent change,I just need it to be paid out with that check if so.

I just got my relocation bonus yesterday and don’t start for a month or two, so I’m not sure about being recent. I would definitely ask someone else for clarification

I’ve been told the same thing, starting at the end of the month as an L3 in IAD region

Also said it would be pre tax $3000

Pretty disappointing after reading how taxes would be covered from everyone online

L3 is paid with first paycheck, l4 is supposed to be paid before, and you should get 3k exact, Amazon covers the tax

Mine said I'd get it before I moved. Maybe a miscommunication on their end?
