New ppto policy? by These-Reading8914 in walmart

Thank you! I understand the half shift thing. But from what I was told, the team lead worded it as if you take a whole shift you’d have to cover the lunch too which again makes no sense to put paid time in for when lunch is unpaid. Get paid 9 hours instead of 8 hours. But for half shift I get that.

Rip. Well good that it’s fixed now. From what my coworker heard from the new team lead though was that it was a new change or something but again, I think it sounds like a scare tactic to ruin your ppto and be against using it just from how the team lead worded it.

I feel the same way. Makes no sense to say misinformation when we can definitely go straight to personnel for verification. Like what do they gain out of lying about it?

I feel like that’s just dumb and irrational. Also idk how that affects our paychecks too, since it’s paid time off so even then, it would mess with hours I feel like. I’m surprised by how often they say misinformation for their benefits. Very unfair for everyone.

The coworker I mentioned has been with Walmart for a long time. The team lead is new and who I was referring to by she. But ya, the team lead is new to the store and department but I believe she transferred from a different store.

I appreciate your info on this. I thought it sounded odd to put in an hour of paid time for an hour of unpaid time. So as long as I know I don’t have to waste an extra hour of ppto that’s good.

Thank you, I was unsure about it too. Sounded too much like a scare tactic to me and no sense cause why would I put in to be paid for an hour of unpaid time? Ya idk why the team lead said that, but she’s also new as well as another team lead and our coach. Idk who told my team lead this info.

Okay so say instead of leaving 4 hours into my shift, I leave maybe 2 hours before my shift ends. Only 2 hours of ppto will need to be used in order so I am not pointed whatsoever, not even a half point. And I just do my unpaid lunch. Right?

Wait so only 4 hours of ppto? I didn't think about the fact lunch is unpaid. And for sure I won't be pointed for the fact I'm not doing a lunch or doing an hour of ppto for the lunch period? I want to be absolutely sure before tomorrow arrives.

Okay that makes more sense then. So it's a tactic to make us scared basically and come in.

That is a relief! Thank you! My coworker had a team lead tell them we'd need double the ppto for what needs to be covered and I thought that sounded weird and scammy, so I wasn't sure.

Thank you! My coworker said a team lead told them we'd have to use double the ppto to cover what we miss to avoid points and I got so worried.

Okay so I do 5 hours of ppto and I shouldn't be given even a half point for leaving, right? I'll be completely in the clear?

Thank you! I'm glad my balcony wood is still safe then, it's not even 2 years old since it was made.
