Walmart tweaks pay structure for some new hires | Forexlive

The WSJ reports that Walmart has tweaked its pay structure so some new hires get less.

Under the new structure most new hires will make the lowest possible
hourly wage for that store. In the past, some new hires, such as those
who collect items for online orders, would have made slightly more than
other new hires such as cashiers.

It’s a small change but a sign that wage pressures a dwindling, at least at the margins. Walmart spins it as a way to make it easier for employees to transfer between departments.
