Store workers at Walmart start at $18.75 an hour in Quebec, the best usual rate of any province, and distribution centre associates start at $25.34 to $28.55. New cashier, stocker and overnight postings go up every day.
Most postings on the store floor list a single requirement: you must be 16 or older. Nearly every ad prints its starting rate, and night postings list the same rate as day ones.

Walmart jobs sorted by the hour your shift begins
Many Walmart job titles include the start time, so you can fit the work around school, family or a second job. Each row below is a real posting with the rate it printed.
Overnight Associate is among the roles Walmart advertises most. None of the night postings we read offered a premium, so the posted overnight start equals the daytime one.
How far Walmart pay climbs past the entry rate
These Ontario starting rates are drawn to scale. A distribution centre pays about $7 an hour more than the store floor, in return for steady heavy lifting and a minimum age of 18.
Store assistant managers move to a salary of $56,100 to $66,642.50 a year.
