Integrity Staffing Solutions works with Amazon to place employees in warehouses and fulfillment centers around the nation. Amazon currently employees more than 250,000 full-time fulfillment workers.
In 2014, Integrity Staffing Solutions was at the center of a Supreme Court case involving workers seeking compensation for lost wages due to time spent undergoing Amazon's extensive security protocols. In a unanimous 9-0 reversal of a previous holding denying compensation, the court voted in favor of paying employees for time spent going through security.
