Amazon says it will pay up to $4,000 in travel expenses annually for non-life threatening medical treatments including abortions, according to a message seen by Reuters.

Amazon’s new benefit, effective to Jan. 1 retroactively, applies if an operation is not available within 100 miles of an employee’s home and virtual care is not possible, the company’s message said. It is open to U.S. employees or covered dependents enrolled in Premera or Aetna health plans, whether they work in a corporate office or a warehouse.

The reimbursements that Amazon announced on Monday are not specific to abortion. They provide for other non-life threatening treatments such as around cardiology, cellular gene therapies and substance-abuse disorder services as well. Separately, Amazon offers up to $10,000 in annual travel reimbursements for life-threatening issues.

The news came on the day Amazon stopped offering paid time off for U.S. employees diagnosed with Covid-19, letting them have five days of excused unpaid leave instead.on Monday, after another warehouse voted to unionize last month. A group of current and former workers known as the Amazon Labor Union has pushed for better pay and job security.
