Amazon PTO & Vacation Policy (2026): Complete U.S. Employee Guide
Amazon's PTO policy for U.S. salaried employees combines vacation days, personal time, and 7 paid holidays. New full-time hires start with 10 vacation days + 6 personal days (16 days total), scaling up to 20 vacation days after 6+ years.
