Walmart launches new bonus program for hourly associates

TULSA, OKLA (KTUL) — Walmart announced a new annual bonus program for full- and part-time- hourly employees.

The goal of the Associate’s Bonus is to reward long-term employees.

According to Walmart, the longer an associate is with the company, the higher their bonus potential is, up to $1,000 a year.

To qualify for the bonuses, employees must be employed by the company for one year.

Approximately 15,000 Oklahoma employees qualify.

The Associate to technician program is one of the newly introduced benefits.

The program provides front-line associates with training to move into higher-paying technician jobs.

Walmart is also doubling its available certificates through the Walmart-paid Live Better U (LBU) benefit.

Additionally, the Me@Walmart app will now include a Total Pay & Benefits feature.

Through this feature, employees can see their pay, 401k, Associate Stock Purchase Plan, and benefits.
