Walmart is doubling down on benefits to attract and keep its top talent. 'We have core associates that we want to reward for going above and beyond,' Drew Holler, vice president of associate experience for Walmart US, told CNN Business. Walmart, the country's largest private employer, says 300,000 part- and full-time hourly workers already have attendance records that would qualify them for the new bonuses. Hourly store supervisors could make up to $900. They won't get the bonus, however, if they dip into the pool of 5 additional days every six months.įor example, an entry-level Walmart sales associate making the company's $11-an-hour minimum wage could mean an additional $550 at the end of a quarter. Even workers who take all 6 days can be eligible for the new attendance bonus. The difference is the protected PTO won't count against workers' attendance records. On top of the 5 days every six months, workers will start receiving up to 6 days a year of 'protected PTO.' Those days can be used to cover illnesses and emergencies, such as a flat tire or taking care of sick kids or family members. The policy around vacation days is not changing. Walmart is cutting that to 5 under the new policy, which will take effect this weekend. The goal is to give incentives to workers who show up every day, while building in protections for people who have no choice but to miss work.Ĭurrently, hourly workers can miss up to 9 days every six months for unexpected absences.
