Walmart to give another round of cash bonuses to all hourly employees
Walmart is set to give a second round of cash bonuses to all of their hourly employees, the company announced on Tuesday. This includes hourly associates in stores, clubs, supply chain and offices, drivers, and assistant managers in stores and clubs.
According to the retailing giant, this will make nearly one billion dollars in cash bonuses the company has given to associates this year.
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.
“Walmart and Sam’s Club associates continue to do remarkable work, and it’s important we reward and appreciate them,” said John Furner, President and CEO of Walmart U.S. “All across the country, they’re providing Americans with the food, medicine and supplies they need, while going above and beyond the normal scope of their jobs – diligently sanitizing their facilities, making customers and members feel safe and welcome, and handling difficult situations with professionalism and grace.”
The company gave out cash bonuses last month to its associates. That bonus was issued for all U.S. hourly associates in stores, clubs, supply chain and offices on April 2. That bonus was also $300 for full-time hourly associates and $150 for part-time hourly associates.
