Employer enforcement record

Wal-Mart

Concluded DOL Wage and Hour Division cases in which DOL found a violation. An investigation that found none won't show here, and neither will an open investigation, a private lawsuit, a state labor agency case, or an arbitration settlement. Covers the statute categories this site tracks (H-1B, general wage/hour, child labor, sub-minimum wage, H-2A, H-2B, Davis-Bacon, and migrant/seasonal farmworker protections), not every WHD program, and only cases matched under this exact employer name on file with WHD. No result here means no such case on file — it isn't the same as a clean record.

How this is sourced and what it isn't

A listed finding is DOL's own concluded determination following an investigation, not an accusation or a lawsuit outcome, and appearing here isn't a claim of ongoing or systemic misconduct — each case reflects one specific investigated period. Matching is exact-name-only: a real violation under a spelling not on file for this employer's matched name won't be found, so a low count here means few matches under this name, not a confirmed clean record. Source: DOL Wage and Hour Division Enforcement Database, the compliance actions concluded since FY2005 that found a violation. Informational only, not legal advice.

Recent layoff notices

Wal-Mart has 25 WARN layoff notices on file from the last 24 months, covering 2,288 workers; the most recent is dated June 2026 in CA. WARN notices are the advance filings that employers with 100 or more employees send to state workforce agencies before a layoff or closure, taken from the open WARN Notice Register. Our copy holds records first added on or before November 14, 2026; the date records additions to our copy. Bigger employers file more notices, so a larger count tracks company size. A listing that repeats an earlier one is counted once, and a notice the register labels as amended or withdrawn is left out. How to read layoff notice data: what the notices can and cannot say, and why some are missing.

Your personalized report lists each notice — site, headcount, date, and a link to the state's own filing.
