Walmart is incentivizing workers to show up on weekends and
holidays because the new system penalizes them if they call in sick
or don't show up as scheduled, sources have told Talk Business &
Politics. The new protocol is based on a 5-point system,
down from 9 points in the past.
Sedgwick will reach out to the associate, typically within 8
days of the associate's scheduled return to work.
What is this? If staff members have been employed by Walmart for
less than six months, this is lessened to 4 points before
termination. However, if you have worked for six months or more,

employment.

while building in protections for people who have no choice but to
miss work. Currently, hourly workers can miss up to 9 days every
six months for unexpected absences.
