How Can I Check My Walmart Points Balance in 2023?

As an experienced Amazon seller, I know first-hand how important employee attendance and punctuality is to running a successful business. That‘s why large retailers like Walmart use point systems to track absences and tardiness.

But as a Walmart employee, how do you check your points balance? This comprehensive guide will explain everything you need to know about the Walmart point system and how to keep track of your attendance record in 2023.

An Overview of Walmart‘s Attendance Policies

Walmart relies on all hands being on deck to operate stores smoothly. Unplanned absences or late arrivals can disrupt operations and burden co-workers.

To encourage punctuality, Walmart uses a strict attendance point system. Each unapproved absence or late arrival adds points to your record. If you accumulate too many points within a 6 month period, you risk disciplinary action or termination.

However, Walmart also rewards good attendance with bonuses of up to 25% of your pay. Having no absences for a quarter earns you a 10% bonus, while perfect attendance for a full year earns 25%.

The point system may seem harsh, but it ensures Walmart stores run efficiently. As an employee, make sure you understand how points work so you can avoid surprises.

How Walmart Tracks Attendance Points

Walmart uses automated systems to precisely track employee hours and attendance points.

Time Tracking

All employees must clock in and out using the GTA time clock system. This timestamps your exact arrival and departure times.

Point Calculation

Based on the GTA records, the system automatically generates attendance points as follows:

• 1/2 point: Arriving 15 minutes to 2 hours late
• 1 point: Missing more than half your scheduled shift
• 2 points: Failing to report an absence
• 1/2 point: Leaving early

Point Validity

Points remain on your record for 6 months from the occurrence date before falling off.

Maximum Points Before Termination

• 5 points if employed more than 6 months
• 4 points if employed less than 6 months

So every tardy or unreported absence chips away at your attendance record. Make punctuality a priority to keep your points low!

Checking Your Walmart Points Balance

To avoid nasty surprises, check your points regularly via:

1. OneWalmart Website

As a Walmart associate, you have an account on the OneWalmart website. Here‘s how to check your points:

1. Login to OneWalmart
2. Click the menu icon in the top left corner
3. Select My Time > Attendance
4. View your points accrued over the last 6 months

This gives you an up-to-date view of your attendance record at any time. I recommend checking it at least once a month.

2. Phone

You can also call the Walmart Disability and Leave Service Center at 1-800-492-5678. Explain you‘re a Walmart associate wanting to check your attendance points.

A representative will verify your identity and provide your current points balance over the phone.

So if you don‘t have web access, a quick call will get you the info you need.

Reporting Absences to Avoid Points

Sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or emergencies. To avoid points for legitimate absences:

1. Report in Advance on OneWalmart

Log into your OneWalmart account, go to My Time > Report an Absence, and submit details on your upcoming absence.

As long as you report before your shift starts, you avoid points.

2. Call the Associate Hotline

Alternatively, call the associate absence hotline and speak to an associate relations representative to report your absence.

As long as the absence is approved, you avoid points. Reasons absences may be approved:

• Bereavement
• Jury duty
• Military leave
• Medical appointments

Following proper reporting procedures prevents "unreported absence" points!

Consequences of High Points

As you accumulate points, Walmart will escalate corrective actions:

• 3 Points: Verbal coaching
• 4 Points: Written warning
• 4-5 Points: Termination if under 6 months of employment
• 5 Points: Termination if over 6 months of employment

Getting terminated hurts your employment record and finances. So be punctual, report absences properly, and keep points low!

Pro Tips for Managing Walmart Points

Here are some best practices for Walmart employees to manage points:

• Check your points monthly via OneWalmart
• Report upcoming absences in advance
• Set phone alarms for your shift start times
• Allow extra commute time for traffic delays
• Arrange reliable transportation to work
• Keep good health to avoid absences
• Swap shifts early with co-workers if necessary
• Discuss extenuating circumstances with management

Following these tips will help you minimize points and avoid disciplinary action.

Key Takeaways

Tracking your Walmart attendance points is simple if you know how:

• Check your points anytime on OneWalmart
• Call 1-800-492-5678 for an over-the-phone balance
