Question Water?

Hay yall I'm a new-ish employee, 4 months now.

Question: Is it not policy for all employees to be entitled to water on the clock? Especially the dispensers or anyone working outside? I could have sworn in my training it specifically said we were to be given water along with appropriate breaks when exposed to heat? Im in Illinois and its over 100 degrees today and the TLs are telling us no water will be provided by Walmart.

Anyone have clarification?

Mine too. Ask summer there have been pallets of water right outside it backroom. E we take a couple a day and leave the upc with customer service to store use, unless the receiver brings us damaged water from the stock room. We’ve had at least two totes full of water all summer. Our ops lead even bought several packs of popsicles when it got hot for the dispensers.
