Walmart, the largest retailer in the United States, announced on March 19 that it plans to hire more than 150,000 temporary staffers and will pay a special cash bonus totaling $550 million to its hourly workers due to the growing CCP virus pandemic.
The retailer said on Thursday it would pay its full-time hourly workers a special cash bonus of $300 and part-time associates $150. Walmart’s next scheduled quarterly bonus will also be accelerated for store, club, and supply chain associates a month early, the company said.
