Top 5 Productivity Tips for New Walgreens Employees Using Walnet

Starting a new job at Walgreens can feel like a lot—new systems, new people, and a lot to remember. But one tool can make your day-to-day easier, faster, and more productive: Walnet.

Whether you’re a cashier, pharmacy tech, or shift lead, Walnet is your go-to digital assistant for schedules, payroll, PTO, training, and more.

To help you get the most out of it, here are the top 5 productivity tips for making Walnet work for you from day one.

1. Bookmark the Walnet Login Page and Save Your Credentials Securely

It sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how often new employees forget how to log in. Avoid delays by:

• Bookmarking the Walnet login page on your store’s system (or your phone if allowed)
• Saving your Walgreens Employee ID and password in a secure password manager
• Writing down your credentials (safely!) until it becomes second nature

🚀 Pro Tip: Use a consistent browser like Chrome or Firefox for best performance.

2. Check Your Schedule Daily (Even on Days Off)

Walnet provides real-time schedule access, and that’s a big deal. Why?

• Shifts can change with short notice
• Managers may post open shifts for pickup
• You’ll stay ahead of last-minute changes or swaps

Make it a habit to check Walnet every morning—even if you’re not scheduled to work. It shows initiative and keeps you in control.

3. Review Your Paystubs After Every Payday

Pay issues happen, and it’s better to catch them early. Inside Walnet, you can:

• View your gross and net pay
• Track taxes and benefits deductions
• See hours worked and overtime
• Spot errors like missed punches or deductions

📌 Flagging a problem on Day 1 means it can be corrected by the next cycle. Don’t wait!

4. Complete Your Training as Soon as It’s Assigned

Training modules from Walgreens University are assigned through Walnet and come with due dates.

• Log in daily to check for new assignments
• Track your completion status
• Access materials on your own time (some are mobile-friendly)

💡 Employees who finish training early stand out—and are often considered first for raises, new roles, or extra hours.

5. Use the Time-Off and Availability Tools Like a Pro

Work-life balance starts with smart planning. Walnet makes it easy to:

• Submit PTO requests in seconds
• Track your available hours and usage
• Update your weekly availability
• Monitor approval status and edit if plans change

The sooner you submit your PTO, the more likely it is to be approved—especially around holidays.

Bonus Tip: Ask Your Manager for a Quick Walkthrough

Still feeling unsure? Don’t be shy. Ask your manager to show you:

• Where to find your schedule
• How to clock in/out properly
• Where to access training and pay info
• What to do if Walnet isn’t working right

Managers appreciate employees who want to do things right—and fast.
