Wage and Hour Lawsuits against Wal-Mart Settled for over $350 Million

Last week, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. announced that they have agreed to pay between $352 million and $640 million to settle 63 wage and hour lawsuits filed against the retailer in 42 different states. The lawsuits accused the company of cheating hourly workers by forcing them to work through breaks and not paying them for overtime.

The wage and hour violation settlement may set a new standard for other companies who have been failing to pay employees according to the requirements of federal labor laws.

In recent years, federal court wage and hour class action filings have surpassed employment discrimination class actions, with claims involving issues such as misclassifying employees as salaried or independent contractors, failing to pay for “off-the-clock” work or on-duty meal breaks, denied reimbursements and miscalculation of commissions and bonuses.

Class action wage and hour lawsuits against Wal-Mart have generated a significant amount of media attention, as the retailer is the largest private employer in the world. The company has lost high profile lawsuits over wage violations in California in 2005 and Pennsylvania in 2006, which resulted in verdicts of $172 million and $78 million respectively for Walmart employees in each state.

Earlier this month, Wal-mart agreed to pay $54.3 million to settle a wage and hour class action lawsuit brought on behalf of workers in Minnesota, after a judge found that the company had violated wage and hour laws more than 2 million times.

Under the terms of this latest settlement, current and former employees in 42 states will receive at least $352 million, and the payments could reach $640 million, depending on the number of claims submitted by affected workers.

According to the New York Times, the Walmart settlement resolves all but 12 pending wage and hour lawsuits against the company. Some advocacy groups have suggested that Walmart settled the claims to avoid becoming the target of increased wage and hour enforcement that is expected under the Obama administration.

The system Walmart use to take money from the employees I work very hard for Walmart and I need someone to please tell me if they are going through the same thing. If I'm working 80 hours on some two weeks my pay never show 80 hours it show less and I'm getting to the point now I will have to record my time and my hours from day to day so I can see if the problem is still not changing I will do something about it like report to labor because is not right.

Last Thursday he was clocking in from lunch and noticed a customer waiting to be helped at the sporting goods counter. He paged for assistance and a support manager handed him the keys to the cases. He has never had any training in that department for the policies and procedures. The customers wanted to purchase the rifle. He tried to ring it up and it came up item not found. He manually entered a department number and a description and a price because that is the way he was register trained for any other item. He was unaware of the paperwork involved. He finished the transaction and locked the gun back in the case then called for a manager to walk them out. The assistant manager came 20 minutes later then the sporting goods associate came back from lunch. Then told him it was all done wrong. This began around 7 and he was able to complete his shift until 11pm. When he went back to work on Monday about 20 minutes into his shift was called into the office and fired. What options does he have? Wrongful termination or negligence?Emphasize job codes. You were not coded to work in that department. You were allowed to finish your shift. Someone else made the same type of mistake and still works for the company

My husband fell on their property and while on workman's comp they fired him 3 times and 3 times of contacting the Labor Board they gave him his job back. We were transferred to FL. with him requesting a hardship transfer, due to my severe health problems of COPD and emphysema. NH treated him fairly but FL. is totally different. Here in FL. they cut his 4 days a week of 32 hours down to 3 days a week stating that the store managers get bigger bonus' by cutting employees hours (whether full or part time). On several occasions, they made him work through his breaks and lunch times stating that's their store policy. In NH he had the option of direct deposit, Walmart money network card or paper check. Here in FL they stated that since there was no bank for direct deposit the only way he would receive his pay is through the Walmart money network card and there is no other option if he wished to get paid. (as they have done with other employees). While working with a piece of broken machinery that was reported several times, the machine injured his hand while he was working. The store manager ignored it and made him work his shift. He went to the ER after his shift and the store manager and Walmart insurance state that he wasn't suppose without Walmart approval which was denied upon my husband's request, so they have ignored some of those medical bills. On Sept 12, 2015 my husband passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm and I have continuously tried to obtain his last paycheck for food and bills. I have tried from the 1th to date and they have told me that without a pin number I can not obtain his paycheck because I need a POA. I have constantly explained that this was sudden and we were not prepared. They have told me to go to court and get one because there is nothing they can do for me. I have explained that I can not obtain a POA and they say it's my problem and it's their policy. My world of 23 years with my husband has collapsed and Walmart now treats not only myself but my husband as just numbers that belong to strangers and say that whatever they do is their policy and that's how it is.

We never had this system with Sam Walton being alive. Oh, and how does clocking out on the 5th hour on the dot become three minutes late with a meal exception, and a write up? The only reason this happened was because I ignorantly waited for a 3 o'clock person to show up to cover my lunch, when there was no 3 o'clock coming in that day. Also, someone told me they needed me to clock in early, and I got a last minute customer with no one to take it.

I confronted them about them scheduling me so many days in row and my zms and Ams did nothing, i had to find a co manager from a totally different department to change it and even after I was scheduled 7 days in a row again. We are so understaffed so it is rare that we get our lunches or breaks on time. When you ask about your break they make you wait another hour because they are short staffed. I do have a high number of absences because I get so frustrated with the company. I am pulled between cashier and customer service and i am only scheduled as a cashier. I am expected to help close the service desk yet I do not get paid for it and they denied me the job when I updated my preferances. Our managers are rude and do not communicate, i have not been coached for my 9 absences in almost a year but I am just waiting for the day they fire me. I make less then my brother and he is a cook at a fast food resteraunt. They do not offer me benefits, overtime, they do not allow you to switch departments, you get paid horriby, and it is a terrible company! The wealthiest provate employer in the world and I am getting bad $9.00 to do things that are not my job, that I should be getting paid for.

The entire time I worked there, I hardly ever got a break at all, and never got 2, in my average 9 hour work day, ever. The management there is shamefully inept in innumerable ways, but the worst for me was their inadequacy in scheduling properly. I loved my actual job, if my job was the only job I was required to do. Due to management never scheduling correctly, I not only had to cover my department(Electronics) but daily covered others such as: Photo lab, Connections Center(phone contracts), Site to store(Wal-Mart. com orders), Toys, Sporting Goods, Hardware(mixing paint), Pets(getting fish), often covering TLE(service writing, making keys, binning/picking car stereos) and celebrations(helium balloons); ON TOP OF being called upfront to check or sending the only other person working in my area... EVERYDAY and usually by myself!!!! I also had my hours of availability overridden on numerous occasions( I have pictures of the last 2 times) and my weekly scheduling would be egregiously incorrect, to the point where I felt giving them a formal letter of resignation was my only option. That was the worst mistake ever! The last week I worked there, I was maliciously and intentionally left to work the floor alone. I would find my department management and co-workers sitting in back area just talking or the co- workers who did actually work would get assigned either in back or upfront the entirety of my shift. My very last day was so deplorable, when my husband came to pick me up for lunch, which I rarely ever got on time anyway and staying well past end of my shift was a normal occurrence, however he waited at my register for 55 minutes before he finally walked out to wait for me in the car. It was because of the terrible management skills and being left alone to wait on customers, in several different departments, while being paged upfront and my dept. manager gleefully boasting to me how no one else was scheduled in my department nor the surrounding ones, for the remainder of the last half of my shift, that I finally broke. When I was able to go to lunch, an hour and 23 minutes late, I clocked out, told everyone good-bye, left and never returned. I also had a prior incident at work where I feared for my life and was left in a vulnerable and unsafe environment after a customer attempted to assault me with a projectile weapon, nearly missing me and my co- worker, but aimed toward me. I immediately called management and two members of management did not protect me but rather ordered me to solely continue to service this irate and explosive customer, continuing to put me in harms way and abandoning me. They did nothing to resolve the issues themselves for this customer nor myself.

Walmart is still BREAKING LAWS!!! The only way there will be ANY change is to stop settling out of court. I have spoken with a lawyer and this is the advice he gave my girlfriend. The first thing he said was this will not be easy or a quick process, make sure you're in it for the long haul if you start this. Walmart counts on people to just walk away and not bother. Write everything down with as much detail as possible. Never bad mouth anyone while at work When you go on breaks or lunches, go where you cant be found easily. Always remember every state has different laws and you may have more rights in some than others. From all I've read and heard this has to be coming from corp. Another thing is this is not just Walmart doing this, a LOT of large companies are operating this way and it's all fueled by one thing... ...GREED.

I've seen so much done to fellow coworkers and endured so much myself, form being treated unfairly, mistreated ,humiliated, discriminated, intimidated, to pushed out of there full time positions or any positions within the store. Now I face losing my full time position myself to a part-time position with no benefits, because I can’t open my availability any latter then 10pm. I have what they call closed availability that my own store manager set up for me, because my husband has to go in for his shift that starts at 10pm. We still have 4 under age children and can’t afford daycare, so we chose to work opposite shifts from one other, it was our store managers idea to switch him to the night shift saying it was the best he could do for us, so ok we took it, then in September 2012 one of our sons was diagnosed with epileptic seizures (the drop kind), but while on a medical leave the day my son an I returned from Albuquerque, my husband reports for his shift that evening only to be sent home three hours into his shift because Wal-Mart’s overnight management fired him for calling in three days of his shift, that all of a sudden he had an attendance issue. All because he needed to stay home with the other three children while I was in Albuquerque three days trying to find out what was going on with our son. When he tried talking to management he was just ignored and given his last paycheck. My husband then called corporate and explained what had happened, after a month and a half almost two months he was reinstated but was told by the same managers that they decided to hire him back. I've seen and still see where the rules are bent for some coworkers, one of my coworkers has some what of the same problem that I do as far as being able to work passed 5pm because not only being a single parent but having child care issues as well, refuses to close the availability, because of being told, you’re not guaranteed hours. was given all morning shifts 7-4pm or 8-5pm, and if the system dared schedule me or anyone else those shifts management would ether remove us and replace it with that coworker or we would consistently be harassed by this coworker being told how we stole that schedule and we are what the store calls closers, and that's it. that because working for the company for 7years, this coworker not only deserves the morning shifts but also deserves not having to do any or as little tasks possible compared to the rest of us, even though were all at the same level a cashier / sales person. when we tried to address it, the only response by all of management team including our own store manager was and or still is silence along with that's just how that person is everyone knows that and we just all need to get along. When I tried talking to my store manager, his response was that my availability needs to open up that's the best he could do, and he already told people not to schedule me any hours if I didn't open my availability, that my availability doesn't work for the store’s needs, he goes on to say, that its closed availabilities like mine that has caused a hiring freeze for our store, but then says how he’s having to hire temps to fill in our store’s needs. OK huh? I can still remember When an opening came up for a department manager in my department, I was told by a member of management form my store hiring for the position, that the position I was applying for needed a man because it was a man’s department then hired one. I can remember another time when I first started same manager was on duty when I had a big minstrel accident and needing to go home, approaching the end of my shift any way I asked if he would allow me to go home and why, his response was no, just wrap something around me and finish my shift, so I did. I told another manager about it but I don't believe anything was done, because he still works there. I’ve seen where management would write up (coach) or even fire fellow coworkers for making accident reports when they were injured on the job, sometimes severely injured. So a lot of coworkers myself included have gone without reporting any injury’s over the years. It’s only been recently that we can now make incident reports (meaning because no doctor is needed there’s no need to worry about getting written up, and the injury would still go on record) verses accident reports (meaning because a doctor is needed, the injury not only goes on record they will write you up or fire you). I’ve worked hours for the store that should have been over time and was told like so many others that I couldn't keep it, if I did I would be written up (coached) so then I was told I had to kill it by taking 2 or more longer lunch hours, being sent home early, or given an extra day off. For a while now, they have and still do cut what they call store hours just because of store bonuses or the holidays. They don't want employees to make beyond a certain amount. So if you are full-time (40 hours a week) they would make sure your schedule was changed to 32 hours or less that week, just so that 8 hours or so you put in during the holidays would add to the total hours needed for that week or your (40 hours). I have also seen along with so many others the retaliation that takes place within my store being done by the management team up to our own store manager and then seen them cover it up the same way. With the Lack of jobs available as it is, trying to find one that pays the same or even close to my current pay rate, just so I don't have to start over at minimum wage is just not happening. So speaking up isn’t always the best idea, making it so very easy for me and so many others like me especially single parents to feel trapped, when all were trying to do is to provide and feed our children.

    the problem is. ive done retail all my life, and my share of being salary manager. if your are short handed you dont just stand there with your thumb up your ass. you help. i currently work at walmart going on 3 yrs now. the managers are the laziest, and usless people there. half of them doent even know there duties or anything about the store. so im looking for another job. walmart sucks.

It does not state on my check that it is a shift premium. So without notice they took it back. Is that legal?

Not Hardly! This Entire Issue of Companies not paying Employees for the Actual Hours they have worked, ONLY Began, with these electronic Time Clocks! Back in the day of 'Hard Copy Time Cards' that were punched showing time in and time out...there was NO WAY to "Back Out" any time. It was Recorded and That Was That! A Legal Document that was by law, Required To Be Saved by the Employer. When Companies were allowed to Use These Electronic Time Clocks, it Opened Up this Door to Stealing the Pay of Their Workers! Walmart is NOT the only company doing this. I worked for a company and I discovered the stores manager was 'stealing over time' from her employees. I called the Main Office, Provided Proof via the Fax Machine, and the next morning, Main Office Workers walked into the store and Fired That Manager on the spot. It's a Crime! So Get Proof - and Report it! But she only began doing this AFTER we switched to Electronic Time Machines. There is NO Hard Copy Record with those. No Way for the Employee to Factually keep a record of his or her Hours Worked...so...they can steal it from you! And it's VERY Easy to Change any report being printed off those time clocks! That YOU mentioned them 'Backing Out' time, proves that they DO Change The Factual Reports!

When the next work week come around and we are all in our pre start meeting the manager has a list of those who need to burn time. This means if you have overtime you must now take a longer lunch, or management will change your time for you. Meaning they will go into the system punch you out and have you punch back in maybe 30 mins or up to an hour later. This really seems illegal. If your made to work over they should not be able to take that time away the next week just so they dont have to pay you overtime. the sad thing is I really think management is beeing told to do this.

One of the girls I work with (who knew about my problem) sprinted to get me an orange juice but didn't know where the small bottles were-she wound up bringing me a half gallon bottle because she was in a hurry. The manager snatched it away from her and WALKED-slowly-to go get a small bottle. Meanwhile, I was laying on the floor in the fitting room unable to feel my face. Didja know that you can go into a coma and die from that??? I even said I'd pay for the half gallon, I just needed it quickly. He ignored me. Thought my apparel girls were going to murder him, they were all standing over me totally shocked...luckily he DID manage to get it back to me before I went into shock.

A girl I knew in electronics was fired because SOMEONE ELSE working in electronics was stealing stuff. She was fired because she was friends with the guy (And therefore MUST have known about it, according to management). A friend of mine in apparel (my department) was 7 months pregnant and HUGE. They would not let her sit down during her shift at all. I found her sobbing in the fitting room one night, sitting on the floor because she was in so much pain. Another pregnant apparel associate was told to pull a huge pallet of dog food (which a lot of the burly guys in the back room can't even pull without help) even though she wasn't supposed to do any heavy lifting. We told the manager this and he told her "Please just do it" and walked away. I went and found a stockman to help me pull it and found her a light cart to pull. A maintenance associate that I'm friends with isn't getting his holiday pay for Thanksgiving-they said he did not work. He worked 8 hours-I know this because I dropped him off for his shift. I make 20 cents less than the cashiers, but I'm constantly told to cashier for 2-3 hours at a time nearly every time I work. They will not let you out of this. It has made me skip breaks and take lunch 45 minutes late on several different occasions. My fiance was fired for taking time off to take care of his dying mother. Several managers told him they'd make sure that the days she had chemo (Thursdays) would not count against him if he called in, then they fired him for calling in those days. So yeah. Walmart pretty much sucks. Looking for something else ASAP.

So I lost 20 cent. Later on after working on Ics I was told that would couldn't leave until everything was binned so even tho we suppose to leave at 7am a lot of time we was stuck there til 9 r 10am so I heard the manager one day til d store manager when asked why was we there she said we told her we wanted to stay.... This really made me mad so when I got off I called home office n asked did we have to stay I was told no but if we decide to we had to cut d over time regardless. So from that day on I made sure I left at d right time n d manager tried to tell me I was going to get wrote up so I told her what happened when I called home office she never said anything else about it but she stayed trying to right me up. Later I decided to get off Ics n they took my full time status so for the first time in my Walmart history some reason our store is cutting our hours next week I'm not on d schuldule n when I asked for some hours it was told it was nothing they could do one guy say that had 2 days this week n got a phone call at home asking did they want to take off one of there 2 days theses people r going crazy

Now its been 2 and a half weeks since he called me and told me that the Walmart I worked at said I wasn't available for rehire cause I faulsafied employment documents when I didn't. The Walmart I had worked at said I didn't need my licence to be a tle greeter so did Jim mckay and now he tells me I do. But he also said that he has to contact regional and its up to them to decide what the compensation will be and I can now not get a hold of Jim McKay and I am starting to belive that Walmart corp. is saying and telling me things just so I might forget about the whole thing.

Everytime I was pulled in the office for the complaints, they told me they were called in complaints except i think 3 or 4 were at the store. Everytime I asked them what they said I did to the customer for them to complain, the management wouldn't answer. They always said that they didn't take the message so they don't know the cercumstances. Well if I am being yelled at for something like this I think I should know what I am doing. One time I was pulled in the office, I was disrespected my management. I think if they expect us to respect them I think employees should get the same respect. They told me that retail was not for me and that I should just look for another job. Also they said that I should be greatful that I had a job. Then the more I was thinking about it. Why was it such a big secret not to tell me exactly what the customer said I done to them to lodge the complaint in the first place. How do I know if those complaints were even me. There was another cashier named Lisa also. Also there were several times where I worked over 40 hrs. in a work week and many people said that wal-mart is suppose to pay time and a half. Don't know if that is right or not. If so I would like to get the money they owe me for the hours I worked over 40 hrs. I wish I knew. Several times I was called on my days off to come in and work, other times if I was close to going over 40 hours I was told to take 1 1/2 hr. lunches to cancel out the time before I reached over the 40 hr. mark. Several times I didn't get my 15 min. breaks because they forgot to tell us to go on break. We had to be told by management when to go on break before we went to break. They got busy half the time and forgot about us. then they told us to to take a longer lunch to make up for the 15 min. break. I think they break the rules to much and we can't do anything about it because they are management and who will listen to us the employees. NOONE!!! I also find that management sticks up for each other but noone is there to stick up for the employees. I am kind of glad not to be working for Wal-mart. It was the worst place I have every worked at in my whole working career. When you needed time off they were not willing to give you the time you needed. I missed pretty much the whole season of my daughters field hockey, because the couldn't give me off because we were short handed so was denied the time off. Which I don't think was fair at all. Also I like when I told them I can only work certain hours because of my husbands work schedule and my 2 kids, they said to me you work our hours or you can look for another job. I really don't think management should talk like that to their employees. Everyone tells us wal-mart helps their employees, I just didn't see it. Well thank you for listening to my ranting. Just wanted to know if I am in the wrong or does someone thinks I am right. I would like to know how to be added to possibly get back pay they owe me. I haven't received anything in the mail about the wages lawsuit. My friend called me and told me about it.

Could not come in later or get off early. I shared a ride with another worker who started an hour earlier, I asked many times to start early if I was there, but when I asked can I get off early was told no so that was my answer, so I waited until it was time to start, knowing it would be late getting out. I called home office and asked if I had to stay as the managers were telling me and was told no once my shift was over i could leave, so I passed that on to the next co-worker, really did not matter we were locked in and could not leave even off the clock. I was considered a WAVE Marker and watch as a union starter, which most all my co-worker acted like cattle and wouldn't listen when I told them home office said we only had to work our shift. Honestly that is what is wrong with Wal-mart they make to do that stupid cheer just to see how far they can make a person jump, then take complete control on your time on and off the clock while locked in, If there was a union and if the people WOULD stand against these treatments then they would be forced to comply with the labor laws and not brain wash the employees that they pay the best in town and have your best interest at heart. I did my job and did it well but I seen other who just collected a pay check and was told by my store manger when I was over heard telling one of these lazy ones to get the Fxxx away from me, I work for my pay check while he walked around carrying the same box for the last 20 minutes just collecting his. The manager had the nerve to tell me that there are workers and there are not workers and I need to learn to live with that and was told I was not a team player. I was sick of all the crap and being patted on the back and told we were the back bone to the company and having our store's 300 thousand dollar days rub in our faces while making a few cents more than minimum wage, having to work almost 4 hrs to buy a package of steaks.. During one of these fake pat's I asked for our crew to get a raise, and was accused of asking only for myself in front of every one. I was called in the office many times because I stood up for my co workers and reminded often that a union was not needed in Wal-mart because they looked out for their employees with out my help.. Never asked to sign anything so there were no records of these meetings. They keep the crews small so they can control them for if they were big a union would be possible. But if it were to spread through out all of wal-mart they wouldn't stand a chance of stopping it. I would say a UNION is needed at Wal-Mart and start making them jump through the hoops they have forced the employee's to do for many years. If they would hire me back I would make that my goal and break Wal-mart of it's abuse. I pray that someone who can help, even a few can understand that this is the only way, will take this seed and help it grow and make wal-mart a great place to work. You have the power, you just need to stand together, these law suits are nothing just a small drop in the money they bring in and the little they pay employees other than management. Law suits won't stop the abuse, Wal-mart just pay the court orders and find ways to get around it because there is no one who can stop them as a individual and thinking you can just quit and boycotting doesn't help unless it is a mass of people. I haven't received my check on this suit, got my letter telling me I was part of it a few years ago, but I would gladly sign it over to a union rep in order to bring wal-mart to a new understanding. If every one from this one law suit did, it would be one the biggest and strongest Union in the world funded by Wal-mart it's self. Better than a slap in the face. Think about it...

    Marsha, I'm just outside of St Louis. I've heard from a few others at work that they have received check(s) also. Some, like me got one check with both parts in it. Others got two checks, one for the "wages" and one for the left over money. Not sure what caused the difference, but the amounts were the same.

  • MarshaMarch 1, 2012 at 8:17 pm

    John,would you mind saying what part of Illinois that you are in? I am glad to hear that someone from Illinois has received compensation no matter what the amount. I will take one dollar . Thank You

  • JohnFebruary 27, 2012 at 6:23 pm

    For some reason, Federal taxes were not withheld. That would be about $3.10 that I will owe Uncle Sam next year at this time.

  • JohnFebruary 27, 2012 at 6:01 pm

    ILLINOIS - Got my check today. $35.43 "wages" and therefore taxable ($1.49 SS, $.51 Medicare, & $1.77 IL State) + $19.08 Non-wage (According to the letter, money leftover in settlement fund after all claims were paid.) and not taxable. Check Total $50.74.

    Walmart managers constantly interrupting breaks and laugh in your face when you tell them your restarting your break.

Driving to the point of stress and depression until i could no longer control my actions or thoughts. while all the while trying to maintain my job. I was ordered to work late hours then told to sit off clock to lose overtime hours. One manager would tell me to do one thing anther manager would tell me to do another and i was written up because it was impossible to do both. One of the workers under me was fire because he could no stay alnight doing a job that he was not required to do, also he was suppose to get off hours ago, and he had to be rehired because of wrongful termination. I have plenty other things that have happend and plenty witness we already had some employee to receave money back from a suite. Things has gotten worser. don't get me wrong when i first started a Wal-mart it was one of the best places i ever worked i felt like this was where i belonged and i was excellent at any position in the store; couldn't move up because i had a family member in just about every department, but when our new store manger came i don't know what happen. i started gettig wrote up for crazy stuff, always did more than exspected but that just wasn't enough any more.

He worked construction before starting. I worked retail for several years. How is that more experience? I quit because of the injury and the threat of a write up. According to the handbook they would have fired me. I got a d-day, anyone working for walmart knows what that is.

H was asked to go home early by the personal MGR due to another worker was injured in a car werck and come back and hour early the nexted morning so thats what he did. But the nexted moring he was fired. The store MGR stried to say it was because of his tardieness and sick call in days. I was like what and I looked at the paper he gave him and I remeber that my husband had just had his 5yr eveauation and he was with in company guidlines not even a week before this happned so I loked at what the guy wrote and conpared the tow and explained to my husband that he was wrongfully fired. We fought for his UIE benifets and I can tell you we won because we were in the right. So if you ever get fired from Wally World as I call make sure its valid. I alos found out that once your invested into the company at 5 years they find all kinds of reson to fire you. Thats what happen with my husband. Now we are much better off he has a job he loves.

I was a department manager for 2 years and after that Walmart decided to cut positions and save money, so they they told me and 6 other's to step down and take a lower daytime position or go on 3rd shift and stay full time. I decided to go on 3rd and keep my full time hours, but i've lost some money. I was promised that when another supervisor position comes open in the future i will be considered. About a year has past and 4-5 positions as supervisors had been opened, but i had been lied to because they were given to other people with no experience and they was men. Then i was asked to train some of them, i refused to do so. I was a stocker on 3rd shift which is a job code 2. But since i had manager experience they used me in the backroom as an ICS, which stands for Inventory Control Team, and is a job code 5 which gets payed higher than a stocker. They never payed me the differential, nor did they change my job code. After 1 year i asked the store manager if he is going to make the job code change since i've been working not as a stocker but an ICS in backroom. He kept saying he would but never did. After 3 month i've called the Lady from Human Resource and explained my situation to her. She said that she would have a word with my store manager. I waited again for a few weeks and nothing happened. I tried calling her one more time and left a message. After that a few days later i was assigned back to the floor as a stocker which i was anyway. After that time i wasn't used in the backroom any longer. Now i've been harassed and they trying to work the hell out of me. I am in my early 50's now and my Health is going down the drain with the way they treating me. I guess they can't wait for me to quit. I haven't gotten a pay raise in 2 years since they are saying that i am maxed out as a stocker. The only way for me to make more money again or get a yearly raise would be if i get a higher position again, but they make sure this would not happen.

They did all in their power to make it the worst possible work environment ever and get me to quit. I stayed strong but they eventually filred me for it. They know they were wrong because they had the nerve to tell me on the day they let me go to "please come back in 6 months and reapply because you are a good employee and we'd love to have you back." Seriously?! I know that they were just trying to save having to pay me the hourly rate I was making and they were trying to cut back on benefits. Anyone who thinks Wal-mart cares? You are a dime a dozen and you don't mean anything to them unless you stand in the way of them possibly getting a bigger bonus. I also remember an assistant manager who actually had the nerve to question my religion and reasons for taking off work to attend church.

When I complained was given the cold shoulder by upper management and ignored. My complaints was passed from one manager to another to handled but never resolved. On several occasions, I was ignored and not given a break, late lunches, denied raises. I worked for the company since 2005 to 2010 and let go right before my evaluation and time for an updated raise. When I was in an car accident in July 2010 and out for three days, call into the office and let go by management and forced to signed paper work which I have a copy. I asked was it due to my car accident and told no but not given a reliable explanation.

Then I was told they were only hiring part time (thats all I was looking for), I had marked part-time on my application. There are also guys who get hired to stock for 3 hours because they have another job to go to, but I have open availability. I even know some males who didn't complete their assessment on the application and still got called in within a week to go to work after a 5 minute interview. Every time I ask a manager about any openings they say they have put a hold on hiring but the next week theres 5 new people working, whether it be morning or night. Lets put it this way, this walmart is every understaffed, even the employees will tell you so but they won't hire any more females. And I know 3 females who have quit to pursue other work because wal-mart refused to give them hours, and they would frequently have to work through their breaks.

The police say they can't do too much since it is private property and it is up to the manager to get rid of the loitererers. She has asked numerous times to be transferred, but is threatened with part time if she should leave. She believes there are possible drug dealings going on in the store, and that these people think she knows it, so she is worried about her safety. The manager and the associates ignore her pleas, so she is a basket case right now. I have told her to just leave and take the part time job, but she needs the money at this time. If anything happens to my daughter, can I sue Walmart for allowing her to work in what she and I perceive to be a hostile work environment???

In summary: Wal Mart associates need a Union!!!!!! specially the worst wal mart ever store 5193 in Moreno Valley, CA. if you work there, get the H*** out as soon as you can. If you need a job. do yourself a favor.. don't work there!!! please, please, you'll regret it ~!!!!! and lastly, if you can afford it go buy elsewhere! that is the only way we can slow down the big "ABUSIVE" giant.

My doctor had to take me out early on maternity leave because all the stuff they made me do was putting me into preterm labor then they replaced me so when i was able to return they had to figure out where to put me i then went to over nights where i was massively harassed by my boss she was continually threatening to fire me because she did not like the fact that me and my current husband met there and were dating i worked there for a year and a half before i finally quit then two months later they fired my husband for no reason and when unemployment called to find out why he was fired they lied three different times to unemployment so he was finally able to receive unemployment

The department manager left and they brought in a man from another store to run the department. one day he called me into the office and he said they were cutting 2 of the support manager jobs (there were 3 of us) and I was one of the 2 getting cut, since I was leaving a manager job I could no longer work in the department and he sent me to hardware to work. about 2 weeks later he brought in a young man from the store he came from and put him in the same position I was just taken out of. What? they cut supportmanagers just long enough to get the woman out? I called and complained to home office but no one did anything about it. I talked to someone in their ethics department and they did nothing. I feel because I was a woman he wanted me out and he put his buddy in the position. This same manager was fired shortly after that for stealing so I feel he got what was coming to him but wal-mart did me wrong. They cut my pay $1.30 an hour.the dollar was the raise I got for becoming support manager, the 30 cents was register pay, then when I went to being a cashier they didn't give me back the 30 cents they gave me a 3cent raise? how did they figure that one out?

Our on line schedules along with the schedules posted at work and at the csm podeums clearly states what time your lunch should be. I have been a cashier for almost 4 years at wal-mart and have worked there a total of 10. I have been told no by the csm one to many times when asking for my lunch break, i should not have to ask in the first place if they would just do their job and make sure everyone goes on break and returns from their breaks on time we would not have this problem. On this day I asked for my lunch which was 30 minutes past due already and the csm told me no we were to busy. Later she came by and said the other cashier in front of me was due back in 3 minutes then I could go. the other cashier astill had not returned in the next 15 minutes so I turned off my light to keep anyone else from getting behind the already 6 customers waiting. when the csm saw i had turned my light off she then sent someone over to relieve me but wanted to talk to me first. I was then taken into the cash office where she preceded to get in my face about the break schedule. Instead of yelling back at her I just handed her my badge and told her I had had enough of wal-mart and their way of doing things. Other cashiers go on their 15 minute breaks and are gone anywhere from 30-45 minutes, they dont get in trouble because they are the csm friends, others are gone 13 to 15 and they are being paged back to their registers. I talked to the manager of the cashiers and she went to bat for me but wal-mart said i abandoned my job so that was it. What about my rights? I have the right to get my breaks on time and being told no is wrong. several times my name had been marked off the list as went to break but they never told me I could go so either the break was extremely late, or they said to take it with the lunch break, or i missed it altogether. when I asked for my break i was told oh your name was marked off and so and so must have forgot to tell you to go. Bull Crap, they just didn't want us to go because we were to busy and they care more about the customer than the employee.

I think that was the name that they werent paying for breaks, father in law got one as well. I'll have to have my husband check that one out thanks:). Thats crazy you should have gotten one by now.

  • AudreyJanuary 9, 2011 at 8:13 am

    I got my settlement last week - talking with others at my store. Pay out was from 89.00 to 350.00. I did not count how many breaks I worked though - I dont think anyone counted every min. You just did it! You were told to do it! I am just happy people got money. I'm just thankful I got anything! Walmart is a big company and we are the small people in it!

If you received a check for MDL state settlement you need to call another # for the King Settlement which deals with 401k to make sure you get a check for that.

    today i got my check MDL Va and Al it was 524.00 very disappointed, as I worked 1 whole year without breaks ,opened the first store in Va Bch Va continued through most of my 8 years there, then my transfer to Al took pay cut and again breaks were charged against you whether you took them or not, so not fair.

We had gotten a new store manager from the east coast which I thought would be a good thing. Come to find out, not only was he a fake and a liar, but he did not care about anyone but himself and the assistant manager he was supposedly sleeping with even though he would bring his gf to the store. I had started out as a cashier and eventually switched to a stocker over-night because I could no longer handle the pressure and stress of being up front. I like never called in and when I was a cashier I would also help out the Loss Prevention worker since at one time she was the only one in that department. I would also be asked my the Store Manager to get off the register and go help the truck crew unload trucks and stack pallets and take them to the floor for the overnight crew. What I didn't understand about all this was why would he ask me to do all of this work over the guys when he didn't even like me. What I found out later from other associates was that he talked a lot of crap about me all the time and that he did not like me at all because of my sexual orientation. So not only does Walmart commit sex discrimination, but they also discriminate against someone's sexual orientation. I had gone over my SM head and talked to his boss. He said he would take care of it for me... but did that ever happen... NO! So if all this isn't enough, he had asked 3 days prior to sending me to another store like an hour and a half away to help them with a remodel. So now I got stuck driving all that way just so he could "get me out of his face", which was said by a prior ast manager. Then after a month of going back and forth and to school after I got off in the morning, he decided to send the Asset Protection manager to the store I was helping at to fire me saying that I was lying on my mileage sheet. So not only did I deal with hell for a job, but I was fired an hour and a half away from my home store so he didn't have to do it, and I also had to pay back the $400+ dollars they had giving me for driving to that store. Walmart is a piece of crap place to work at and totally descriminatory against anybody they can take advantage of... And to conclude my story... the funny thing out of all this is when I no longer worked for the company at all, and the SM would see me shopping in the store, he would try to make conversation with me and stuff and the only thing he would get from me was a response saying "Don't f****en talk to me" and the finger. After all, he could no longer do anything to me if I didn't work there anymore. Just makes me mad that I never did anything wrong and yet I was treated so horribly.

Rob made him step down from the deli position, then told him he had to sign papers for FML. The HR person told Chris Rob was looking for a reason to fire him and would put him in another position where he would be bound to fail so they could fire him. They refused to recognize his diability and make reasonable accomodation for the dialysis, per the ADA laws. 5 + 5 = 0 with Walmart. They kicked him to the curb after 10 years of loyalty and devoted service! Don't work for Walmart unless you want to be booted out at the first hint of trouble!!!

I too had nightmares, but do you know that walmart does not even offer you any paid time off after a truamatizing situation such as what we went through. They don't care about us. It was me and other support manager that did the most investigating into our robbery because we felt it was an inside job and even told the police that. We were right, and we found out who did it and they ended up going to prison and we never even got a thank you or nothing. They don't care about us. FACT!!!!

One night after we closed Management stood at the door to let the remaining customers out. She didn't bother locking the doors and walked away. I was standing at the courtesy desk finishing up my drawer count. A man walked through the door with a shotgun wrapped in rubber bands. He said we need to buy our white t-shirts and kiss our kids goodbye, The worlds coming to an end. He wanted to know what religion people were. As he is saying this he continued to head back towards sporting goods. I am calling management over the intercom with no response back. I called a good 4 times. I open the door behind the courtesy desk to see 2 managers sitting there. I was so pissed. Typical ignorance of Walmart management. They called 911(I should of) and I started to clear the store. I don't recall if management even left that room. By the time the man reached sporting goods he had the gun put together and in the face of a associate demanding ammo. The guys were able to get the gun from the man. Swat showed and did a sweep of the store. The mans girlfriend was sitting outside in front of the doors with the car running. Come to find out the next day the man was a felon. What really got me was to find out the gun was loaded. Nice to know he could of blown me away right when he walked in. Risking my life because of incompetent management and being told to work through breaks and lunches. Then we were told we wouldn't be let out of the store until we help the other departments and everyone was done, after we clocked out. We were always locked in. Walmart needs to get their crap together and start caring. That gun man scared me so bad I had bad dreams for a week and was always watching to the doors after we closed.

I have been an Electronics associate for six years, am one of the most highly paid persons in the store, am over 65, and handicapped. Three years ago I had a stroke while working, but after I recuperated I returned to the same job. I have never had anything less than a glowing review and a good raise, have been assured that any help or accomodation I might need is fine by the reviewing manager, etc. Just this past month I was suddenly threatened with a poor review if I didn't transfer out of the department because I "didn't fit the job description". After three years of solid evidence I can and do, do the job? And not one negative review or warning? And in October I got another great review after the first threat was received. This week I was summarily yanked from Electronics and thrown on an up-front register with no training for that type of machine. This job is quite strenuous and I fear I can't keep it up too much longer (which is precisely what they hope!) Also, they took my walker away from me and put it in customer service. When I needed to go for break there was no-one to go get it for me, so I got no break. Same thing when I needed to go off shift. I know for a fact that it's strictly illegal to remove a mobility device from a handicapped person. They have also cut my 4hrs/day, 5 days/ week to just two days a week, even during the Black Friday period when traditionally everybody who's breathing is on shift. I suspect they may cut me further. Any cut at all in hours and I'm in danger of losing my house. The stress is making me so ill I can't eat, and I'm diabetic. It is unconscionable what a huge corporation is able to get away with! After reading all the other complaints, mine is slight in comparison to some, but at least I know I'm not imagining the things I've seen and heard and experienced. 'Evil' in its metaphysical sense is not too strong a word to use. Another earlier series of events in my sojourn with the company was also draconian. The store I worked at was closed for remodeling, and all the employees who didn't voluntarily quit were transferred to a store twelve miles away. When the original store reopened, none of the original employees were allowed to re-transfer. We were told that we had to apply as if it were a new job. It turned out that they filled the store positions with brand new lowest paid youngest people off the street that they could find. Mostly twentys, a few thirtys, nobody I saw was over forty and I went back alot to be sure. Nobody who originally worked there got to go back except one or two youngsters who were promoted to management. All of this points to a Machiavellian juggernaut with complete lack of compassion or ethics that has the world by the throat, and knows it. Someone in a comment compared it to the Nazis, and that fits just right. What a shame. Walmart could do so much good if they had a mind to, but it's a giant, insidious termite mound of mindlessnes and rules with no checks or balances, which condition promotes the worst of human instincts. They are so huge that I feel what they do and condone impacts so may people negatively that it could be considered treason to the US. I pray God someone stops them. Thinly veiled Horror movie, anyone?

IF I WAS LATE I GOT CHEWED OUT BY MANAGEMENT. BUT NOTHING WAS SIAD TO HER AND SHE WAS SUPPOSE 2 BE THERE AT THE SAME TIME AS ME. DURING 2007 I HAD SOME TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS.(NOTE:IT WAS NOVEMEBER MY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY) I CALLED AND TOLD ONE OF THE MANAGERS ABOUT IT SHE GAVE ME THE CHOICE OF COME TO WORK OR QUIT. I HAD TO QUIT(UNKNOWN TO ME THERE WAS A THIRD CHOICE) 4 1 MONTH. LOST ALL THE BENEFITS OF A 1YEAR ASSOCIATE THAT I HAD JUST GOT. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE UNTIL I GOT SITUATED SO I WOULD HAVE KEPT MY BENEFITS. I WENT BACK IN JANUARY OF 2008. IN APRIL OF 2008 I FELL IN RAIN WATER (ON MY WAY TO CLOCK IN 4 WORK) BY THE BUGGIES AFTER THE DOOR GREETER HELPED ME UP ILIMPED TO THE BACK FILLED OUT AN INCIDENT REPORT. I TRIED 2 WORK THAT DAY BUT MY KNEE WAS HURTING BADLY,SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL THEY GAVE ME A PRESCRIPTION I WENT BACK TO WALMART TO GET IT FILLED AND THE STORE MANAGER MADE A COMMENT TO OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT I FELL BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO WALK. IN JUNE 2008 I SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION. I STOPPED GOING TO WORK BUT I STILL CALLED THE HOTLINE NUMBER TO CALL OUT. I TALKED TO A MANAGER TOLD HER WHAT WAS GOING ON SHE TOLD ME TO GET THE MENTAL HEALTHNPEOPLE TO FILL OUT THE FORMS. I TOLD THE PEOPLE AT MENTAL HEALTH THEY TOLD ME THEIE LAWYERS WONT LET THEM DO THAT BUT I COULD SIGN A RELEASE FOR THEM (WALMART) TO GET MY PROGRESS. I TOLD THE MANAGER ABOUT IT SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER SHE TALKED TO THE STORE MANAGER. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I RECIEVED A LETTER TELLING ME I WAS TERMINATED DUE TO EXCESSIVE ABSENCES. I DONT KNOW ABOUT EVERY OTHER WALMART BUT THE ONE I WAS AT IN GA SUCKS.

Wake up Walmart!!!!!!!!!

I unloaded the convyer belt with 5-6 other man and he still wanted me to do this some of the boxes were very hevey and after a few months i started haveing trouble and then one night i started throwing up blood and the manager wouldn't let me leave. Pluss we were locked in. I got upset and scared so my husband told me to run out the emerency doors or fire doors (witch we were told if we ever did this we would be firered) But i ran out them any way and my aunt came and picked me up and took me to the hospital. I was firered and they made me fillout saying that i Quit because they said that that is what i did when i ran out the doors. Theys said if i did fill out the paper saying that ...that i wouldn't be able to get my check for the 2 weeks i worked. I filled out the paper work about a month or 2 ago and havn't hurd anything.

I'd say about a year ago (around 2009) I recieved a large envelope from Walmart in the mail (I quit sometime after recieving this) and it was about how Walmart was/is being sued in many states (I assume this is the lawsuit ofcourse.) Anyway, there was a paper to fill out and send in. It asked questions about if my breaks were ever interupted and was forced to leave my breaks etc. If so, I would be getting compensated for it. I am still Not Compensated. I recieved Nothing in the Mail. I answered their questions (and yes I had at least One Break disrupted when I just Started it. I got it after two hours of work, so I took it and this middle aged, over weight, lady who was a sales associate yelled at me and slammed her hand right next to my face on the table. I was in Subway - we had one in our store. She told me my boss wanted to talk to me but when I spoke to him, I asked if anything was wrong... he said no. He asked me some question about my 3 month evaluation but it was NOT negative. That lady was a freaking psycho. We never spoke before, and to my knowledge, there was no beef between her and I (REALLY.) I had many other bad experiences but it would be too long to type so I'll leave it at that. Anyway, I never did get this check I was suppose to recieve in the mail. In general, I experienced a lot of racism. I know people don't like hearing about it but I'm being totally honest. This one customer said to his wife that I spoke "good english." Um, I'm only 1/4 Filipino. I grew up in the U.S. I also had coworkers tell me how they didn't like races that weren't the same as theirs. I also had a manager who complained and worked me to the bone, but didn't say jack to the other sales associates that worked Under her specifically. All these other sales people did (not all of them, but the ones that worked with me in the ladies department) just talked and galavanted around the store. One of these women told me I worked "too hard." This same woman told me she was never complained to/about from our manager (they are both the same race from what they told me, and I'm another). It seemed like a racial situation because the only other women who worked a lot were these 50 year old women of other races while everyone else just talked about personal things, and walked around (and not in a frantic way... but just casually, while these two other woman were building large clothing racks and taking them down etc. Whether it's subconscious or not, (it seems to me) that many people like to help out or befriend the ones that look like them. Yes, I'm being very racist, but so is every d-mn person I've met and worked with. I'm so glad my fiance is an Accountant and owns a business. I dont have to deal with nasty prejudiced women Ever Again! Ha ha ha - HA!!! :P That's me giving the middle finger to every Horrible woman who didn't like me because we weren't the same - b-tch. And Yes! - Ther e was one coworker who told me that she didn't like my background (3 times to my face - Really.) They'd be so Jealous to know the guy I'm with has a degree and theirs probably still dont! :P

Who's the company, if I'm asking the right place, that handled this class action suit, I understand 2 others I had worked while there, THEY received letters in reference to this, I never did.

This is just to show how intimidated people are working for walmart/sams club. these are people that were denied breaks and treated badly, were pressued and threatened. Then came time for themm to get some restitution and they weree still afraid. I got 675 and my daughter got $625. Some tried to find out if they can still do it, I beleive they were told that the deadline hasn passed. Well watchout, there are stil two more pending, so if you receive mail DONT THROW IT OUT. many believed that just because they are stll working for walmart/sams club they cannot fill the form. That is a lie from satan. I am still workinbg for them. i will soon leave though.

I stepped down and was treated a bit better. I had to go on FMLA for medical reasons. I thought that it would save my job but it was the worst thing to do. I was only gone for a month and a half. I have never used any of my sick time. Each paycheck they shorted me and kept telling me that they would fix it next paycheck. So far I am still short. To make matters worse they cut me from 40 hours to 15, I don't know what to do. Other than try to find another job quick. Walmart does not care about anything but the bottom line.

I was working in toys that night and had to put some child wagons up on a high shelf. My super told me to get a male associate to help me, so I did. The guy went up to the top of the roll around ladder that we used, carrying one of the wagons. They weigh 65lbs. He went to swing it up on the shelf and ended up droping it down, hitting me in the head. I end up with no job because of permanent injuries. Can never work again. Got treated like dirt, no one ever even called to see if I was ok or anything else. Here now, almost 4 years later, they want to give me $11,000.00 as a settlement for my pocket and maybe $50,000.00 in a Medicare set aside bank acount. I had 9 more years that I could have worked. Without a raise for those years, I am loosing $190,000.00. Thats just an estimate. Wal-Mart is something else right? I am a Christian, so I can't say what the devil wants me to say about Wal-Mart

The person that appealed didn't like the settlement and wants more, this could go on for a while. we are part of a MDL ( ?) it seems that we are divided by regions. Hope this helps.

OH p.s. i don't know how to do food benefit cards and they are always putting me on those stupid registers and if i keep doing food benefit cards wrong some people who have food benefit cards could lose their food stamp card benefits and i could get in trouble for it! i was even told that i would get in trouble, yet they never show me how to do it! i'm pissed!

    thats the way wal-mart works. they tell you to do extra time and then they tell you to take a longer lunch or come in later. You are told you have to "kill the time" or else you will be fired. I was told that you are by law to be paid for ALL time worked, not what ever Wal-Mart feels like paying. But looks like Wal-Mart is all powerful and no one wants to make them pay up for what they should.

    Has anyone heard of anything new happening, any more checks going out, new appeals or better yet an end to all this madness. Its so frustrating trying to get any info on these class action suits going on. They claim to keep to sites updated but I haven't seen anything new on any site. They could at least keep us better informed about what is going on. We at least deserve that.

Working at Walmarts is like we're being treated like an encounter of a third demension or like a prisoner should best desribe and account for what most have to say for working at walmarts. I don't know what exactly lawsuit I'd really fall into: on any given day I had so many dealings with walmarts as an employee, being over worked due to reporting (retaliation for discrimination) & harrassment practices then being turned against me, to my religion brought against me, my limitaions that either of my adhd or else (3) work injuries I had inquired while working for walmarts, to using my bronchitious against me when I had a doctor excuse that stated to take a day off to being used against me as one of these injuries wasn't reported, and my boss would use other employees against me to manipulate me for his own personal gain, I was either yelled at, constantly critizied no matter what it was i knew I did my best to work with this company, I have no clue to where to start and its so depressing to have to get just what you deserve when they fight you all the way from what I see here. I'm looking to file a lawsuit with the iowa commissions, eeoc and actively looking for a attorney to represent me.PS. I wish you all luck on all your issues and hopefully someone can get these walmarts for doing inappropiate practices and doing things their way and alot of them against their own policies..... any suggesstions anyone can help would be excellent! thanks! Also, to conclude that I was told by my boss when I was a customer one day at the store I worked for, that I wouldn't mess with something you can't handle, its too Big".....meaning that they knew I had the right to file a lawsuit of some kind against them, perhaps retaliation for reporting harrassment and discrimination practices, for damages of the constant stress that was put on me , as became a hostile work environment , there was no end then I was fired , wrongfully terminated over the phone due to my injuries i had their they tred getting out of it and wanted me to take fmla, d-day to see if I wanted to work for their company , as wanted me to return to the job I was first hired to do, this is all wrong and if there is someone out there that has gone through these things like I have, I couldn't imagine worse, its sad and it changes how somone perspective of walmarts company really is and the whole outlook of the company is failing and wrong.

If you are a full time employee, don't go to part-time, because once the deed is done, you will not be given your full time status back. Now we have to go to lunch by our 5th. hour of our shift, when we used to be able to go to lunch on our 6 hour. Wal-Mart feels we are cheating them by that. Funny when they have problems with their employees, they punish all of us. Wal-Mart now has us cleaning our departments as those we were hired on as janitors when they know we were hired for bakery, deli, groceries, cashiers, and all other departments. They are treating us like slaves. Some store managers talk to us like we have tails between our legs and they let us know that no one is going to listen to us and I have seen that to be true with some of the associates that are having issues with the management staff where I am working. We are told if we talk to any union employees, our jobs will be gone. How can anyone treat a working man or woman that way and expect for them to respect them as well? We are always threatened to be fired or hey just quit if you don't like what we have to say.

Cards I was let go by the company, but Selma PD told me that I deed a great thing. I was let go for doing my job, I was a loss prevention officer and this gut was doing this at Wal-Mart for several locations up and down the city. And the worst thing it was right before Christmas and I was not able to get gifts for my two sons I was never a bad employee and never had a write up and was let go after 10 month of working my ass off… I don’t like this company and people should look into this company before they do business …… i worked off the clock and never took any breaks, no one ever took over to help out when we were call on our lunch or breaks.

Less people working you have to work even harder and not get paid for it. They time you on everything you do and if you dont do it they tell you they will hire someone who will. They do not understand that not everyone can work the same pace as the other but do not care. You cannot work 1 second over 40 hours or you get coached so you end up under 40 hours and you better have your work done in that time.

    I worked for walmart for seven years,and when hurraine Katrina hit in 2005 , the managers were not asking us to stay over they were forcing us to stay,putting our jobs on the line, Everyday we had to stay over to fill the shelves and zone the area. we were stockers but a lot of times we had to unload trucks, sometimes it passed our break time hour.

  • BrandonMay 17, 2010 at 11:30 pm

    This is total CRAP!!!!!!! How long ago was the lawsuit settled (A long TIme ago) and when is the money going to get here? If Wal-Mart does not want another settlement they better step it up or they will be suied again for fraudulent papers going out in the mail with peoples personal infomation on it etc.

Only days after being in infants my dept mng left 4+ over stuffed buggies daily for me to put away and then I got in trouble because I only worked a 6 hour shift and I was required to be in jewelry to do breaks and called up from to run register. Later I began to love walmart, I learned how to do things that most mangers don't know how to do. I was doing projects and being praised for getting the job done. I was promised full time and told I could work full time hours and when things looked better that I would be given a full time position, this never happened. In Nov of 2009 I became really sick and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. The earlies appointment I could get in was the end of january 2010 to get an endoscopy to see what was wrong. By then I was feeling a bit better and cancled my appointment, thinking maybe it was just a bug. Not long after that I became so sick in constant pain, bleeding anywhere I could. It was horrible. I was then sent to multiple drs and because of walmarts policy of having to miss 4 days in a row for it to count on the fmla I was denied and then I was seeing so many different drs that they said they felt like by law they couldn't fill out a fmla because they'd only seen me once, even though they were refuring me to other drs. The only days I missed were days I was sick and I even took drs notes. I was told by an assistant mng as well as the store mng that I could pay a drs visit and get a drs slip, so I was told that that didn't count. I was scheduled for surgery april 5th and only two weeks before I was given a d day. The day before my surgery I was scheduled to close when I had to have surgery at 5 the next morning. Of course I called in, who wouldn't? Days after my surgery I had to go in and turn in my fmla, still having stiches and having a hard time walking and I had managers looking at me as if I needed to come back. Some even commented about how other people were back after a few days and that it's not that big of a deal. After already having a dday I knew if I came back I would be fired. I talked to the store manager and even went abover her head, of course, with her permission.. Nothing helped. Before my fmla was up I called in and quit. There was no point in coming back, I would have just been terminated. I loved working at walmart, I don't have a lawsuit against them, but I do believe they do their works poorly. Store managers who sit and listen to people complain all day make 75K+ a year and people who do all the work who make the store look decent and work for the customers make barely 10k a year. Just doesn't seem right.

  • margaretMay 16, 2010 at 9:03 pm

    I also filled out the paper work, and still no check. Beginning to think this was some kind of gimmick by Wal Mart to see who would be sending in the paper work. Lots of people who worked with me said they were too afraid to send in the paper work, figured they would be fired for doing so.

You are immediately eligible for welfare and state assistance when you work there with no other source of income. If walmart went union tomorrow they would have to pay up to 15t imes what they are paying you now. think about it. A cart pusher @ wal-mart starts around $9/hr. A checker always under $15. No matter to what position you climb (unless you are the store or co Manager) you will never make over $40,000/yr and will work well over 40/hrs a week. A Journeyman Plumber in Nevada for the local union 525 gets around $75.00/hr total package. DID YOU READ THAT. He gets $45/hr straight pay on his paycheck and his benefits WHICH ARE THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY are already paid for on top of his compensation. So when you work at wal-mart and don't pay any of your own bills (live with parents or state assistance) and don't have to work to live, I am sure it is great.

I went to the doctor the next day, I was taken out of work for a week, the said he advice me not to work around those fumes, I asked him could he give me a doctor excuse stating that I couldn't work in those fumes, he said he couldn't because he didn't know for sure if thats what was making me sick.

The only way they can complete the job is to force them to work off the clock! is that what you want me to do Bill? He didn't deny it, he just turned and walked away.

If I didnt come back with all the apps I had listed on my call sheet my team leader always called me into a meeting .I also had to schedule setups a large business's or corporations to sell advantage card to the employee's. the management scheduled the times for the setups. I had several that had three shifts- I had to be there for all three shifts.24 hours straight.on alot of my setups management told me to go straight to work from home and they would clock me in work. after working there for 2 years and traing sales associates both men and women a male I had trained told me he made $2.00 more an hour than I -I went to my manager and told him about my info and he did give me my raise.-honest. I worked for sam's for ten years and was paid 37 hours the entire time. like all the others who came and left I knew it was time to more on and out. after 5 years the lady over personal called and ask me to come back. I did work there again but not in sales. I worked meat dept. I wanted to go home at night after a regular shift. we all no that didn't happen. a male membered started coming in and started huging and touching me while I was on the job. I went to management and told about what had happened knowing that the camera's had caught the action but was to told by management that I was too friendly to everyone.In the same meeting I was told I had received my raise. I told him to let me see the pictures of the man grabing me - he said it was against company policy. at that point I quit for the last time. I told him I cant work for a company that protects the menbers for the dollar rather than their employee. my co-workers to begged me to go above the manager but after you have been screwed so many times by the same people- you just get enough. thanksfor letting me get this off my heart. I believe that what comes around goes around .finally wal-mart may get whats coming to them.

They must have done something right to have worked there that long. Its crazy!!!! As far as breaks go, what is that????? I still dont always get my breaks. They never have enough coverage because they are always letting people go and not hiring anyone else to fill the positions. My pay and my health insurance is ridiculous!!! I think that walmart should be fully investigated. I wish I could find another job but the economy stinks right now. Im not even making 12 dollars an hour yet and I have been there almost 12 years! Sam Walton would be upset by this....its really to bad.

I have seen so many people get D days lately that its crazy. Associates that have been there years, like 7,10 and 15 years have been getting fired for uncalled things. What is wrong with this company. Dont they know that it is the associates that make the place run. I feel like they want us to be robots in there. No one is happy in my store. We still dont get our breaks all the time!!! I also get shit for pay and my health insurance sucks....I only stay there because I have no choice at this time. I think they need to be fully investigated. I would never tell someone that walmart is a great place to work. Sam Walton is probably turning over in his grave...

Bentonville doesn't care, and tell the managers to lie, so they don't have to pay and can keep their jobs. Keep a journal, take copies, and list times and dates and places. Why? Walmart has a tendency to lose paperwork and change the employment agreement unilaterally. I have worked almost 5 years at walmart and have it with managers breaking their own rules, but managers never pay the same price as associates. If an associate does it they are fired, if a manager does the same thing, nothing. Totally discriminatory! If we don't stand and fight, walmart will never stop!

I see some managers just walking around all day not doing a damned thing and people like me working my ass off. they dont care if customers are waiting to be helped in the paint dept, they will try and get someone else to help them instead of doing it themselves which would be the right thing to do. we never have enough help out in tle or anywhere in the store for that matter. god forbid if someone calls in, we are assed out with cars backed up to lawn and garden. then they want to start coaching people for job performance. how can you get a car done in ten minutes if you are working upper and lower bay all by yourself. mangement dont care. iI told them we need at least two people in the shop at all times and could they at least hire 1 or two more part timers for coverage, but NOOOOO!! now with all the restructuring they are doing with zone managers and department managers having to cover 2 - 4 areas by them selves, it is bullshit. what do they expect from people. we never get our breaks on time if we get it at all.I have had to take short lunches just to get back and help others so they are not doing work by themselves. walmart is not a good place to work anymore.

And since I was salaried who cares if I got a lunch I was always on the clock from the moment I drove on the lot. Roberts description of walmarts management style above only scratchs the surface in reality its like living in a "fascist" state, under the threat of job loss at any moment. The upper echlon use "buzz" words such as direction, expectation and accountability...just words for I'm gonna give you more work than is possibile to do and then fire you when you can't do it if they want to. I mean look at it this way the job seeker pool has increased by a couple million people so why not take advantage to get rid of the old timers that made walmart. I have seen over the last year market managers, store managers, assistant managers and hourly supervisors all with over 20 years make the choice to retire vs. getting fired. Me... I've never quit anything in my life....and have always taken care of my "people"...so where does that leave me...you got it...unemployed

Several hours before closing, when it was obvious that it would be another night of the same, I clocked out, had one of the managers paged to the front, handed her my smock and badge, and told her what she could do with her crappy job. She said, "Well, I'll have to put it down as walking out in the middle of a shift." I said, "Good, cuz that's what I'm doing." She said, "Well, it means you won't be able to come back." I said, "Now why the hell would I want to do that?" and walked out. A satisfying end to the evening, without a doubt.

I was taught by Sam that your associates are people if you treat them with respect. You will get it back. I was always fighting for them against upper management on a lot of tihings. Then I got breast cancer and had to be gone for 1yr & 3mouths. I got my job back ,but since I could not give 120% only { 100%} I got put back to Dept Manger .They where going to drop my pay , But they now better {remember I was a fighter and that wasn't going to happen} About 3 mouths later I had to get more surgery done , And management was writing me up for every thing. So with my health on the line I lefted. I hope we all get what they took away for us -our respect and value on life and time. Stay strong we can do it !!!

My company tried to force me into taking FMLA or personal leave. They stated that we do not cater to restrictions. Is'nt that stating that Walmart doesnt work with handicap associates. I fought them and refused to go on leave because I was capable, willing, and ready to work. Since I was able to work and they werent giving me any work I believe to be layed off. I filed for unemployment and found out that Walmart/ Sam's club turned into the government that I volintarilly quit and did a no call no show for three days. I was on Fmla at the time. Of course the state approved my unemployment because I had documentation to prove my case. Now the company is and has been discriminated my handicap. During one of my visits to the club, the store manager told another employee not to talk to me. well it was stated " there are some enployees that you want to talk to and there are some you should not if you value your job. This company has done nothing for me in my time of need axcept tryen to pin me to the wall.

I was not into the hate game of Wal-Mart and found a lot of employees were bitter when i arrived. I worked hard as a "sales associate" just because this was a temporary job and working hard would make the day move fast. Being promoted made me question the fact was this a job to stay with , and should I look into maybe trying to promote further. In the 1 1/2 years i have worked there (and still do) I have seen that it is a Do or Don't way of retailing. I was told it was our market/ store that was carrying the "get down and give me 20" feel of management. I recall when our new Co-Manager came on the whole store excluding the ones on evening shift were coached and wrote up. This is how direction would start to come and fall upon us in the future. When management would hand out morning walks / notes they would tell you do this now do it today, or your going to get coached. In my personal opinion, they gave every one a lock down feel of the coach procedures. If you work or ever have worked for Wal-Mart you know its a firm 3 strikes your out. Putting everyone on the border lines of termination they would constantly put every one on you might be the next to go. The only thing i saw when it came to hours and over time is a constant cutting back. They would tell you, you must work late today to get this project done. But by the end of the week you had to cut over time in a lunch break and or clock out early before Friday. If this is against the law which I honestly do not know, then they are guilty. Regarding to working off the clock, they enforce termination for that. Maybe its the store Manager who is responsible for this? I do know a Store Manager will go as far and as rough as the Market Manager above him makes it. If there was ever a Law against making an employee feel stupid for working hard but not hard enough, twisting answers for responsibilities by saying "there are no excuses" publicly pushing managers in meetings, being threatened in verbal ways "shall i break your neck now or later", then i would love to see justice come from that. In my opinion Wal-Mart is by far one of the worst companies to work for as an hourly associate. We who have worked there know that how i speak of the treatment in my store is how a salary member of Management gets treated. Since the days Sam was alive. I also know as a salary member you are also paid well for the abuse. I guess this was my Vent, Good Luck to those who are still employed and have no options out.

Two years after I was there and was working in the Meat Department my back a sustained serious damage from all the lifting that I did. As a result i had to have surgery. the company gave me no sympathy. I had a hard time with the paperwork i had to fill out for time off. even when I was able to go back to work I was to do light duty of lifting of only twenty-five pounds for six weeks. but that only happened for twop weeks. I was given a hardtime noone would helpme if i needed it. by the third week i was back to doing exactly the same things that caused my back problems. also by the third day i was back i was called to the office and reprimanded for saying something that i never did. I told the head manager that if i truelly hated my job then i would never have come back after the doctor said i could after the surgery. I am not saying Wal-mart is all bad I am just saying they need to step back and see exactly hopw we as associates are being treated.

    I was just told that a Wal-Mart rep said that the checks are being mailed out now till March 2010. So watch your mailboxes, everyone! I'm def looking forward to mine! I think Wal-Mart should think twice about lunches and breaks now! It's all well deserved to everyone in my book! Good luck! AND A BIG THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER STARTED THIS!!!

You are forced to go to meetings on your days off,which I refused to do. I was told by other employees that they used to make you work over 8 hours,off the clock,and if you didn't comply,you were gone!When a Wal-Mart in Canada went union,the store was closed immediately.When this class act settlement letter was sent to Wal-Mart employees,many went crying to the mangers saying they wanted to not accept the checks from the settlement,and if there was anything they could do to help against the settlement.You talk about brown-nosers and arse kissers.I simply couldn't believe how brainwashed they were.I had several run ins with managers,and managed to not get fired.I've never been one to mince words,and I told managers what was on my mind straight up.The store manger liked me,as he was an ex-Marine like I was.The experience I had at Wal-Mart was was a real eye opener.Big business uses every underhanded tactic to deal with employees,and Wal-Mart is the worst there is.I can't wait to get my settlement check at Wal-Marts expense,and I hope they keep right on getting sued,as they are simply the most greedy,employee abusers on the face of the planet.Do I dislike Wal-Mart and their under handed tactics...you bet I do!!! I lasted a year with them,and never once did I comply with any of their bull crap.

    I worked for wal-mart for 12 years, as an OTC mgr and head Tech, we ate while working, came in early worked off the clock, left late working off the clock. Why you may ask.. lots of work and not enough help.. and I had 3 children to care for. I too would like to know when we will be getting that check. Unfortunately all we can do is ask questions and get no answers.

No stool, no chair and I was reprimanded relentlessly for leaning on the wall next to the register. I had maybe half of the breaks I was supposed to have, and it got to the point that I just stopped showing up for work because I was in so much pain from the waist down it just wasn't worth it. The managers are almost never available and only show up when it's time to count drawers or move you to another register. Complaints fell on deaf ears. I filled out the short form and mailed it out this morning. They mail the packet to the address you used while working at the store. Please read more about class action lawsuits. I joined because I truly believe I would have stayed a loyal employee IF I had been given all breaks and for the entire break period.

People that say they treat their people good I never had any problems with them other than my son is a severe chronic asmtmatic and the store coach told me that I had to give at least 2 weeks in advance notice when he was going to be sick for FMLA I was wrote up for missing 3 days on account of his illness... I contacted Wal-mart ethic group and I wasn't very smart, since I returned my write up to the store manager and he ripped it up... I was also told during one of my pregnacy that i fI couldn't perform my normal duties then I couldn't work and so I continued to do my activities and I eventually lost my baby, but I was not able to determnine the cause of death, since they baby was missing during my DNC I believe in my heart that it was due to my working conditions.... I currently work for an awesome company... I wish I wouldn't have waisted almost 12 1/2 years of my life working for that horrible company, cause if people think their a great company they should look into fotune 500 companies, because they do treat their people with the utmost respect...

I think this is completely wrong! I had more retail/cashier experience than he had. Front end is low on the pay scale, so it is very unfair that they started him out more than me, when I was in a posistion that was higher on the scale, and also drop me $.20 when changing posistions. It may just be my store, but all the managers are horrible to work with. They're may be two half way decent managers there, I can never get any days I ask for off. I asked of my college orientation, which was scheduled for 9am & told my manager if he wanted to work me for him to work me after 1pm cause I had my orientation at 9, after knowing that, he schedules me 9-1, what a douche.

I don't have sympathy for employees who accept the higher rate of an exempt employee and then also want the benefits of being a non-exempt employee. This is an example of ignorant employees who can't do the math so see if the promotion is really what it seems to be. It is also an exemple of government intervention when a company is forced to pay employees for money they chose not to earn. Hopefully the government is using the lower rate to "repay" these idiots.
