Hi everybody,
My wife works at Walmart. We are both quitting our jobs within the next month or two. We want to get every dollar out of Walmart as possible. She has 80 hours of sick time accumulated. She has checked if they will just pay her for the days when she quits and they said no, you just lose the sick time hours. We have been on the phone with Walmarts corporate employee services, and all they will tell her is to read the attendance policy. The attendance policy is very vague regarding sick days. Her store managers won't give her a straight answer either. They have this phone number to call when you are going to call in sick. You have to call it every day for each day you will miss. She won't get paid for taking one day off. You don't start getting paid until the second sick day. Here's the dilemna - they won't tell her if she will need a doctors note to come back to work if she takes off like 9 or 10 days to use up her sick days. So we are looking for ideas on what excuse or "illness" or "injury" she can use, without being required to go to the doctor. And if they do tell her she is required to see a doctor after she calls in, what would be a good idea for getting the doctor to give her time off work? If anyone has any experience dealing with this messed up vague policy, we would appreciate any ideas on how to beat their system without her being fired for attendance. If she gets fired, she will lose accrued vacation hours towards next year, which she would be paid for when she quits with 2 week notice.
Thanks,
Eddie
