You work there. We figured out how it actually works.
Walmart's two-tier PTO. Home Depot's missing employee discount. CVS's portal that keeps changing names. The HR questions most people end up Googling at 11pm, sorted by employer. No fluff, no chatbot runaround.
Twenty-two companies. One page for each, then twelve more underneath.
Each hub links to the full set of guides for that company: portals, W-2s, PTO, benefits, what to do when you leave.
Walmart
OneWalmart, Me@Walmart, the points-based attendance system, and the August 2025 grocery discount expansion.
Open hub Grocery / 38 statesKroger
MyTime, MyInfo, SecureWEB. Union benefits that vary by local CBA, plus a 90-day password expiration that catches everyone.
Open hub Big-box retailTarget
MyTime, Workday, Paperless Employee. The 10% plus 20% wellness, plus the 5% RedCard stack that gets you near 30% off.
Open hub Home improvementThe Home Depot
MyTHDHR, Success Sharing bonuses, and the surprise that there's no merchandise discount at all. The Homer Fund makes up some of the gap.
Open hub Pharmacy / retailWalgreens
People Central, the WBA Worldwide login, and the November 2025 holiday cuts under the Sycamore Partners restructuring.
Open hub Pharmacy / retailCVS Health
Colleague Zone replaced MyHR, then Workday took over the back end. Up to 30% off name-brand if you can find your way in.
Open hub Grocery / discountAldi
MyALDI USA, no product discount at all, and the highest hourly pay in grocery. Six weeks of paid parental leave, ten days of caregiver leave.
Open hub Home improvementLowe's
MyLowesLife since 2009. The 10% discount that Home Depot doesn't offer, plus BenefitHub savings up to $4,900 a year.
Open hub Discount retailDollar General
DGME, Workvivo, Doculivery. A 20% discount that's one of the best in retail, plus the phishing problem nobody warns you about.
Open hub Discount retailDollar Tree
Compass Mobile and six other portals. The PT/FT classification trap means working full-time hours doesn't always get you full-time benefits.
Open hub Grocery / SoutheastPublix
PASSport login, the PROFIT Plan ESOP that hands out free stock after 1,000 hours, and the holiday cash bonus that hits 80 hours by year three.
Open hub Department storeMacy's
My Insite, the 20% discount you can only use with a Macy's charge card, and 150 store closures by January 2027.
Open hub Off-price retailTJX Companies
MyTJX plus Paperless Employee. A 10% discount that works at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, and Sierra. The Oracle password loop that nobody can solve.
Open hub Department storeKohl's
MyHR Kohl's, the 7-digit Associate Code, and a 15% discount that stacks with Kohl's Cash to hit 30% effective.
Open hub QSR / franchiseBurger King
There's no single portal. Carrols uses ADP. Sage ESS handles others. Find your franchise first, then everything else makes sense.
Open hub QSR / franchiseWendy's
my.wendys.com for corporate, Oracle Cloud HCM, and DailyPay across many franchises. PTO ranges from zero to ten days, depending on who owns your store.
Open hub QSR / franchiseTaco Bell
MyTacoBell through Yum! Brands. Cross-brand career mobility into KFC, Pizza Hut, and Habit Burger if you want to move around.
Open hub HealthcareHCA Healthcare
HCAhrAnswers, the 3-4 ID system, and the W-2 disaster waiting for former employees. No mobile app for 280,000 shift workers.
Open hub Specialty retailGameStop
Workday and Okta SSO. A 15-25% discount that excludes new consoles, which is most of the reason gamers want it.
Open hub Specialty retailPetSmart
HR Connect plus ADP code petm-pets. Free monthly grooming, 50% off proprietary food brands, and a beginner training class for your own dog.
Open hub Grocery / organicWhole Foods Market
Innerview, Workday, and a 20% discount that climbs to 30% if you hit wellness targets. Stacks with Prime, which makes it the strongest grocery deal.
Open hub Grocery / specialtyTrader Joe's
No published portal. Captains, Mates, and Crew. The most secretive HR setup of any major retailer, with the trade-off of 20% off everything and no PTO cap.
Open hubTwelve things you'll actually need to look up at some point.
Each topic page lists the company-specific guides underneath, so you land on what applies to your job.
W-2 forms
Where to download it, when it has to be mailed, and what to do if the address is wrong.
Open topicW-2 (former employees)
The portal got disabled the day you left. Here's how to actually get your form anyway.
Open topicLogin portals
Every portal, the right URL, the password reset flow, and which one to use for what.
Open topicEmployee discounts
Percentages, exclusions, family rules, and which retailers don't actually offer one.
Open topicPTO policies
How accrual works, carryover limits, blackout periods, and what gets paid out when you leave.
Open topicEmployee benefits
Health, 401(k), tuition, parental leave, the eligibility hour thresholds nobody explains clearly.
Open topicQuitting process
Notice rules, what to say, how to leave on terms that don't burn the rehire flag.
Open topicFinal paycheck laws
When the last check has to arrive in your state, and what to do if it doesn't.
Open topicBenefits after termination
COBRA, 401(k) rollover, life insurance conversion, the deadlines that quietly run out.
Open topicHR contact guides
Right phone number, right email, right portal. Useful when you're stuck and store HR isn't picking up.
Open topicOvertime rules
Federal minimum, state-by-state add-ons, daily versus weekly thresholds, and what counts as hours worked.
Open topicFiscal calendar
When the company's pay year resets, when bonuses lock in, when PTO accrual rolls.
Open topic2026
Tax Year
Tax season doesn't have to be a scavenger hunt.
The W-2 you can't find is usually a portal problem, not a missing form.
Most of the people who email us about a missing W-2 already had one waiting in a portal they couldn't log into. The form was issued. The mail got returned to sender because nobody updated the address. The 2-Step Verification got set up at a store kiosk that's now in someone else's pocket.
That's the whole pattern across all 22 companies on this site. The form exists. Getting to it takes a different route depending on who used to sign your paychecks.
The questions showing up in our search bar.
Updated weekly. The order shifts with the calendar — tax season pushes W-2s up, summer pushes PTO.
How to get your Walmart W-2 form online (current and former associates).
The OneWalmart route works while you're still on payroll. After that, MyTaxForm.com with employer code 10108 is the path most people end up on. Then there's the 2-Step Verification trap that locks former associates out — we cover the workaround.
Target final paycheck laws by state.
California is 72 hours. Texas is the next regular payday. The state you worked in beats Target's policy, every time.
The Home Depot 401(k) match, explained without jargon.
Up to 5%, vesting schedule, what happens to it the day you quit, and the ESPP that hands you 15% off Home Depot stock.
Walmart PTO payout when you quit.
Regular PTO usually pays out. Protected PTO doesn't. Eight states force the issue regardless. Here's where you fall.
The Kroger discount, and how to actually link it to your card.
10% on Kroger brand, 20% on apparel, double fuel points. Most associates never get it activated correctly.
CVS Health employee login: which portal, when.
MyHR is dead for current employees. Colleague Zone is the front door. Workday handles pay. Alumni Zone is for everyone else.
You left the job, got laid off, or just need this sorted by Friday.
You just quit or got fired
Final paycheck rules vary by state, not by employer. COBRA paperwork has a 60-day window. Your 401(k) doesn't disappear, but it has to go somewhere.
It's tax time and you can't find your W-2
Most former-employee portals are still alive — they just look like they aren't. Fail that, and the IRS will accept a Form 4852 substitute. We walk through both.
The unemployment claim got denied
Most denials get reversed on appeal if you actually file the appeal. Some states make it harder than others. Income limits on SNAP and Medicaid often apply at this point too.
Numbers you can run without an HR rep.
Built around real federal and state thresholds. No email signup, no upsell.
Tax & pay calculator
Estimate take-home pay, federal withholding, and state tax based on filing status.

Open tool →Credit score checker

Open tool →The benefits that aren't from your employer.
SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, and unemployment have nothing to do with where you worked. They have to do with where you live and what you make. We cover the federal rules and link out to state-specific applications, because that's where most claims actually go.
Most people ignore these until something falls apart. Our gov-benefits hub is built for the moment you start looking.
Open the gov-benefits hub- G-01 Unemployment benefits → How to file, weekly amount, certification, denial appeals.
- G-02 SNAP & EBT → Income limits, what EBT covers, working-family eligibility.
- G-03 Medicaid → Eligibility by state, expansion vs non-expansion, post-job loss enrollment.
- G-04 SSI & Social Security → SSI vs SSDI, benefit amounts, how working affects payments.
- G-05 Tax & IRS issues → Missing W-2s, IRS Free File, EITC, payment plans, Form 4852.
- G-06 WIC benefits → For working parents and pregnant employees. Income limits and eligible foods.
Why we built this site, and what we won't do.
Most HR information online is either a chatbot guess or a press release. We built WorksPerk because the real questions aren't on the company website — they're on Reddit threads from 2019, in deleted Facebook groups, and in the back pockets of associates who already figured it out.
We don't take ad money from any of the 22 companies covered here. We don't reproduce their internal HR policies. We won't tell you we're certain about something that's about to change next quarter. When something changes, we update the page and date the change.
