Walmart isn’t always wrong
I’m always hearing people rant about Walmart’s attendance system, but I really don’t see what’s the big deal ??? I mean as far as I’ve heard, you get FIVE times per 6 months to miss work(unannounced). People who have a problem with that shouldn’t even apply to work. This isn’t high school so you can just decide not to show up whenever you want. The people depend on you and if you feel that you need to miss more than 5 days in 6 months, go make your own business and I can’t wait for you to come across like minded people.
Agreed, 5 days in 6 months should be more than enough for most people. It's a job, not a hobby. If you can't commit to showing up regularly, then maybe retail isn't the right field for you.
you get fired on the 5th day. and if you go to the hospital or have to do chemotherapy . they still point you. they don't take doctors notes.
I have been having chronic health issues lately. I have applied for Intermittent LOA and was approved Right now I am sitting on 6.5 points, all of them LOA points that I have talked to management several times They have all been approved through Sedgwick but management dont have time to take them off. hmmm no time to do there job Really ?? We would be terminated. I have followed procedure so that I could protect my job but will end up being terminated because management doesnt have time to do there job. I've seen 5 doctors in the last 2 months and I'm not done yet. life happens, health issues happen, management cant do there job and I'll be punished !!

I get where you're coming from, but what if someone has a chronic illness or an emergency? The system doesn't account for unexpected but legitimate reasons to miss work. Some people genuinely need that flexibility.
