Employees who previously met certain requirements were paid even if they did not work.
Now, the hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays, the report stated.
The move comes a month after Sycamore Partners acquired the pharmacy giant, according to CNN.
Last year, Walgreens announced it planned to close 1,200 stores nationwide.
The pharmacy announced last month it had laid off 80 corporate workers.
Walgreens has not responded to a request for comment.
