Supply chain and distribution center associates use the same systems as store associates: One.Walmart with your WIN, the MyWalmart app, GTA and Workday. What differs is the shape of the work: longer and more regular shifts, more overnight, and differentials attached to them.
So the systems guidance on this site applies to you unchanged. What is worth reading specifically is how the shift structure interacts with attendance and pay.

What is the same
What is different in a DC
The differences are operational rather than systemic, and they change the practical effect of rules that are written identically.
- Longer shifts. Which means a single unplanned absence covers more hours and costs more PPTO to cover.
- More regular schedules. Often more predictable than a store schedule, which makes planning time off easier.
- More overnight and weekend work. With differentials attached.
- Safety and equipment training. More of it, with real consequences.
- Operational systems. Warehouse management tools that are not associate systems, and questions go to your management rather than HR routes.
Shift patterns and differentials
Differentials are additional to your base rate and appear as separate lines in the earnings block on your statement rather than being blended into your hourly figure.
Longer shifts make statement checking more worthwhile, not less, because a single miscounted shift is a larger amount of money. The punch log guide covers how to verify it.
Attendance in a distribution center
Same framework, same GTA, same point weighting. What changes is the arithmetic of covering an absence.
Longer shifts cut both ways. Covering an absence costs more PPTO, and you accrue PPTO faster because accrual is driven by hours worked rather than by shifts.
Moving between a DC and a store
Moving between supply chain and a store is an internal move. Your WIN, portal access, service time, balances and attendance record all carry over, because you remain the same associate.
Two things to settle before committing: your rate, since rates are market and role based and a move can change it, and the shift structure, since going from regular DC shifts to a variable store schedule is a real lifestyle change. The transfer guide covers what carries over.

Do distribution center associates use One.Walmart?
Yes. Supply chain associates are Walmart associates, so the portal, your WIN, GTA, Workday and benefits all apply.
Is the attendance policy the same in a DC?
The framework and the systems are the same. Shift patterns differ, which changes what a full absence costs in hours.
Do DC associates get shift differentials?
Differentials for overnight and some other shifts are common in supply chain, and they appear as separate lines on your statement.
Do DC associates get the same benefits?
Yes, the same benefits framework, with eligibility depending on role and hours.

It is an internal move rather than leaving and rejoining. Your WIN, service time and records carry over.
