Walmart is planning to provide another round of cash bonuses for U.S. hourly associates. These associates include Walmart associates, Sam’s Club associates, assistant managers, supply chain and office workers, and drivers.
Full-time hourly workers will receive $300, while part-time hourly workers will receive $150. To qualify for a bonus, associates must be employed by Walmart as of June 5.
In total, the Bentonville-headquartered company will be distributing more than $390 million in bonuses for this round of payments.
This is the second round of bonuses that Walmart has announced for associates. The first round, issued on April 2, totaled $365 million. Full-time and part-time hourly workers received $300 and $150, respectively, for this round. The company also issued an early pay-out for first quarter bonuses on April 30, totaling $180.
Combining the three totals, Walmart has shelled out roughly $935 million in bonuses since April.
“Walmart and Sam’s Club associates continue to do remarkable work, and it’s important we reward and appreciate them,” John Furner, President and CEO of Walmart U.S., said in a statement “All across the country, they’re providing Americans with the food, medicine and supplies they need, while going above and beyond the normal scope of their jobs – diligently sanitizing their facilities, making customers and members feel safe and welcome, and handling difficult situations with professionalism and grace.”
