Wal-Mart’s Worker Compensation Program
Apart from the United States Government, Wal-Mart is the largest employer in North America. The average Wal-Mart Supercenter covers over 200,000 square feet of land, and contains everything from auto parts to clothing to groceries. The volume of business a retailer the size of Wal-Mart does requires intense manual labor to keep shelves stocked and aisles clean. Such a large volume of business also creates an increased risk of worker injury and the number of workers’ compensation claims that may result. Due to Wal-Mart’s record of handling post-injury compensation, over the past decade, a number of states have been compelled to more intensely scrutinize Wal-Mart’s workers’ compensation policies.
