Wal-Mart To Stop Healthcare Benefits For Some Part-time Workers
Wal-Mart said it would no longer provide health benefits to some part-time workers in the United States due to ballooning healthcare costs. The company said on Monday it would stop health benefits for part-time associates who work less than 30 hours. The company said in a blog post, the move is expected to impact about 2 percent of its workforce. Wal-Mart said then that it expected to spend $500 million on U.S. healthcare this year, up from $330 million estimated in February, as enrollments and medical costs rise. http://yhoo.it/1qc0sEW http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
