Please stop giving demerits for Walmart employees taking sick days. It's just wrong.

But then you have people calling in for no reason or faking sick just because they don't want to work.

Many companies have a point system for calling off. Walmart just words theirs differently. Most place don't allow up to 3 days called off to only count as one.

It's all whether your member of management excuses your absences.. if you're sick.. well that's not their fault obviously and while I do understand associate frustration we still have a business to run and with tardies.. if you are late 3 times that counts as 1 absence. its amazing the people that actually slide through with poor absenteeism and are not coached and should have been or had been coached twice over.

i think theres an easy fix for this, we should be able to bring in a doctors note for when we are sick instead of them just being like Oh darn sucks for you, because people who are faking sick arent going to go through the trouble of getting a note if they arent really sick

It sucks that you need to miss one day before you can get sick pay. there are a lot of people who only need one day to recover
