It's that time again! Key event dates have been updated. You can find them here: https://one.walmart.com/content/usone/en_us/me/attendance-policy/attendance-reinvention/store-hourly-.html (this page is also linked on the GTA homepage)
As always, it's recommended to take a screenshot of the dates listed, don't forget to search your store number to see your store specific ones too as this list will update again shortly before the new quarter begins. That, and it's always good to have the list handy/saved in the event you can't access the site for whatever reason.
For Q4 this year, 11/26, 11/28, 11/29, 11/30, 12/24, 12/26, 12/31, and 01/01 are the company wide key event dates. Before the quarter starts, store managers are able to submit up to three dates during the quarter to have as key event dates for their specific store. Keep this in mind when people ask "Is X date a key event date?" and that the only way they'll know for sure is to check themselves if the date asked about isn't one of the company wide key event dates.
Associates should not rely on the word of other associates, even management, regarding key event dates. They also shouldn't rely on any official looking lists and/or calendars that have been printed as these can easily be edited to not have correct information.
As always, there's going to be countless questions about key event dates and how they work. It's honestly very simple: Miss the entire shift of a key event date and don't cover at least half the shift with PPTO, then you'll receive one additional point for missing the shift. That's it. A lot of people call them "double point days," mainly because it's catchy and gives a very general idea of what happens but it isn't entirely accurate as half points aren't doubled, and no call no show points also aren't doubled. Again, the only thing that a key event date does is give one additional point (on top of the usual one point) for missing the entire shift and not using enough PPTO to cover at least half the shift.
PPTO works the same way on key event dates that it does for any other day of the year: Cover the entire missed time with PPTO, and you won't be pointed, even on key event dates. Cover half the missed time with PPTO and receive only half a point. Just don't forget to report the absence to avoid two points for a no call no show that even PPTO can't remove.
Unfortunately, there are associates and managers out there that either don't know how key event dates work or they do, but they lie anyway in hopes to keep an associate from missing work. Keep this in mind when anyone tells you anything that doesn't sound right and goes against what's been mentioned here.
Management cannot just make key event dates on the fly. Once the dates have been finalized and are available to view on the page linked on GTA, that’s it, those are the only dates that’ll be considered key event dates for the quarter.
Whatever is on the list shown above (and store specific ones when a store number is searched) are the only dates that will be key event dates for that quarter. Period.
Management also can't just pull points out of thin air to give to associates. So any threats of management saying they'll just point you anyway will be an empty threat as they don't have the ability to do so.

For Q1 this year, 2/8, 4/18, 4/19, 4/20 are the company wide key event dates.
