| How Do I Report Absence To Walmart |
Option 1: The Phone Phonecall (For the Vocally Inclined)
- Dial the Magic Number: Grab your phone and dial 1-800-775-5944. This is the hotline that connects you to the automated system, so get ready to unleash your inner button masher.
- Be Prepared to Play "Guess Who?": The system will ask you for your WIN (Walmart ID Number), date of birth, and store number. If you're drawing a blank on any of these, a quick trip to the My Walmart app (or a frantic call to a co-worker) might be necessary.
- The Confirmation Caper: Once you've navigated the automated maze, you'll be transferred to your store manager. Before you launch into a Shakespearean monologue about your woes, listen carefully. The system will likely give you a confirmation number. Write this down! It's your magical shield against accusations of being a phantom employee.
- Managerial Moment of Truth: Now comes the fun part: explaining your absence. Be honest, but brief. A simple "I'm not feeling well" or "Something unexpected came up" will suffice. Remember, you're not there to spill your life story (unless it involves a rogue squirrel stealing your car keys, in which case, all bets are off).
Option 2: The Digital Disappearance (For the Tech-Savvy)
- Log in to the OneWalmart Website: Head over to https://one.walmart.com/content/usone/en_us/company.html and log in using your WIN and password.
- Navigate the Labyrinth: Click on "My Time" and then "Report an Absence." Be prepared for a bit of a digital scavenger hunt, but don't worry, it's not as bad as trying to find the last box of Pop-Tarts on a Sunday morning.
- Fill 'er Up: Enter the date you'll be missing and select the reason for your absence. Again, honesty is key, but you're not obligated to write a novel.
- Hit Submit and Breathe Easy: Once you've submitted your request, you're good to go!
Remember:
 |
- Try to call out at least 3 hours before your shift. This gives your manager time to adjust the schedule and avoids any last-minute scramble.
- Check your store's specific policies on calling out. Some locations might have slightly different procedures.
- Use your Paid Time Off (PTO) if you have it! This way, you still get paid for your missed shift (and who doesn't love getting paid to sleep in?).
By following these simple steps, you can call out at Walmart with confidence and avoid any unnecessary drama. Now go forth, conquer your day (or lack thereof), and remember, even superheroes need a break sometimes (especially when they're battling the villain known as "The Common Cold").
