Walmart Inc. said Tuesday it plans to provide another special
cash bonus for all U.S. hourly associates in order to recognize
them for their contributions to communities across the U.S. during
the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company said the bonus is for hourly associates in stores,
clubs, supply chain and offices, drivers, and assistant managers in
stores and clubs.
The bonus will be $300 for full-time hourly associates and $150
for part-time hourly and temporary associates, and will add up to
more than $390 million. Associates must be employed by the company
as of June 5 to qualify, and it will pay out on June 25.
Including this associate bonus, Walmart said it will have
committed more than $935 million in bonuses for associates so far
this year.
Walmart said it has implemented daily health screens and
temperature checks, provided masks and gloves, and offered
emotional wellbeing options such as virtual counseling. Walmart has
also installed sneeze guards, limited the number of customers in
stores, installed social distancing signage and instituted
sanitizing protocols.
