FAQs
What after requesting a leave through Sedgwick Walmart?
Once you’ve requested a leave, you will have to follow the normal call-in procedures and remain on active status until a decision is made on your claim.
Home Office, Sam’s Club, and Walmart stores: call in each absence until Sedgwick has approved your leave.
Supply Chain: call in each absence until your facility receives notification from Sedgwick that your leave of absence has been requested. Typically this will happen within one business day of being submitted.
Your facility’s attendance policy still applies, so call in each absence until Sedgwick has communicated a decision to both you and your facility.
You may also sign up for two-factor authentication before you go on leave, so you can access your Walmart login outside the Walmart network while you’re away.
You may have a state leave benefit available based on the state where you work. Follow the instructions in the initial packet from Sedgwick for filing with your state. It is very important to file with your state as soon as possible so you receive your state pay during your leave of absence.
What if you are not eligible for leave?
If you aren’t eligible for an FMLA leave, you may not be eligible for an intermittent leave under the Leave of Absence Policy.
However, if you need leave due to a medical condition, you can submit a request to the Accommodation Service Center for consideration of intermittent time away from work under the Accommodation in Employment Policy.
The Accommodation Service Center will review your request and determine your eligibility. Intermittent accommodation approvals are for your own health condition only, not to care for a family member.
You can contact the Accommodation Service Center at 855-489-1600, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CT).
