"Wal-Mart didn’t specify how the employees will be compensated."

They can be compensated by a coffee voucher. Or compensated by the joy and feelings of accomplishment they'll derive from their new work tasks.

Just saying.

Seriously tho, if they get into an accident delivering the packages is that something that'll get covered by Walmart? How about the wear and tear on the vehicle?

It really seems like it's a better deal for Wallmart. A handy way to offload delivery costs to the workers for a small compensation.
