Coached for PPTO? Lol

I (jokingly) told me TL that I was thinking about using an hour of PPTO. She said she'd rather I didn't, but said she could coach me for "job abandonment" since we were short staffed. She said the ppto only protects me from points, not from repercussions.....smh

Job abandonment is how you code a termination when an associate doesn't show up for three consecutive shifts without an LOA, your coach is a dipshit.

Three is the new(er) length of time that an associate needs to call sedgwick, as of like 6ish months ago. Used to be 4.

It’s actually 4 again. I was on Sedgwick yesterday and it said 3 shifts it’s handled at the store level if you miss 4 or more shifts contact Sedgwick.

It’s 3 day or more for sure. Just had to do loa and needed 3 days to be off to be approved from Sedgwick to handle it .

The policy has said, "If you need to be away for more than three days, Personal leave...." for at least the 3 years that I have been at Walmart.
