is asking some of its 16,000 pharmacists across the U.S. to voluntarily take pay cuts and reduce their working hours in a bid to reduce costs, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
At a meeting in May, senior Walmart field leadership asked 20 market leaders - directors of 10 to 15 stores in an area - to start asking pharmacists to voluntarily reduce their base salary hours, the source, who attended the meeting, told Reuters. For example, a pharmacist could go from an 80-hour, two-week pay period to one lasting 64 or 72 hours, the source said.
A Walmart spokesperson, Marilee McInnis, said the company was "committed to creating a great place to work" through work-life balance and competitive pay, and was hiring pharmacists as it sees demand for their services grow. According to a study commissioned by the Pharmacy Workforce Center and released in May, nearly 80% of respondents working at chain pharmacies considered the shortage of technicians to be severe or very severe.
