Hughes Resources pays once a week on Friday, unless notified otherwise. New employees will receive their first paycheck the Friday after their first full week of work. Paychecks can be received via direct deposit, cash card, or check. Checks will be available for pick up Thursday from 3:00pm-5:00pm and Friday from 8:00am-5:00pm. All checks not picked up by 5:00pm on Friday will be mailed. If you are sending someone else to pick up your check, you will need to notify us ahead of time in writing to give them permission.

After your interview, we will look through our open jobs to see if there are any that match your qualifications and needs. We ask that you check in with us once per week by leaving a message on the Availability Line during our normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm. The Availability Line number is 815.850.0100.

We are constantly taking new job orders and filling open positions, so the timeline of your placement is dependent on the availability of positions that match your individual needs and qualifications. If we do have a position available for you, you can be placed immediately after your interview.
All applications need to be completed online. You can fill out an application here or stop in one of our branch offices and use our computer stations to fill out your application.
If we have not called you for a job, it is likely we do not have anything that matches your needs or qualifications. Please make sure you are checking on the Availability Line once a week to let us know you are still looking for work.
Walmart uses an electronic approval system based on the social security number you enter on the keypad. Based on this data, the computer will approve or deny your check to be cashed.
Checks are denied for a variety of reasons, including entering the wrong social or having cashed bad checks at Walmart in the past. They will not be able to tell you why you were denied.
If your check is denied, you have two options:
- Continue to try to cash your check at Walmart. Call the phone number provided by Walmart and provide them with the additional verification requested. This may take a handful of business days to complete.
- Take your check to another financial institution. Our checks are drawn off of U.S. Bank, which means you can cash them at any U.S. Bank branch even if you do not have an account there. They may charge you a check cashing fee.
