Walmart offers bonuses to hourly workers in a company first
CBSN
Walmart said Wednesday that store employees are now eligible for a financial bonus of up to $1,000 a year, the first time ordinary workers at the retailer are eligible for the enhanced pay.
The bonus is available for both part- and full-time Walmart employees, including those in its pharmacy and eye care centers, the retailer said. The amount employees receive is tied to their store's performance and the number of years the person has been with the company.
For example, under the new bonus plan a full-time worker who's been with Walmart between one year and almost five years can earn an extra $350 per year, while a 20-year full-time worker can earn a maximum bonus of $1,000, Walmart said. The plan will be available to 700,000 U.S. workers, the company said.
Washington — An independent panel tasked with reviewing the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, found the Secret Service suffers from "deep flaws" that enabled the attack at the Trump campaign rally, and called for the agency to undergo "fundamental reform" to carry out its mission of protecting top government officials around the world.
