(KERO) — Prime Day Is Tuesday and Wednesday and it could be costly for employers.

A CNBC report in 2017 estimated Prime Day will cost businesses $10 billion in lost productivity.

The report estimated 78% of Amazon Prime members will shop the new deals from work.

CNBC estimated that members spending just one minute shopping from work becomes lost productivity.
