Walmart uses a point-based attendance system that can result in disciplinary action after repeated unexcused absences. A physician-signed note is the standard way to document a medical absence and protect your standing. SwiftCareMD delivers a physician-reviewed note online, same-day — no clinic visit required.
Walmart's attendance policy assigns points for unexcused absences and late arrivals. The system is structured so that accumulating too many points — typically over five — can lead to coaching, disciplinary action, or termination.
Medical absences that are properly documented through Walmart's Sedgwick-administered leave management process may be protected from counting as attendance occurrences.
However, the documentation process requires prompt action. Walmart generally requires that medical absences be reported through their call-out system and that documentation be submitted within a specified window.
A physician-signed note is the core document in that process.
Complete a brief intake form detailing your illness, the shift(s) affected, and your current condition. No appointment needed.
A licensed doctor in your state reviews your intake asynchronously and issues a note if clinically appropriate.
Your signed PDF note is emailed immediately and ready for submission to Walmart HR or Sedgwick.
