Foley & Lardner LLP Partner Carrie Hoffman is quoted in the SHRM article, “NLRB: Stealing Time Wasn’t Enough for Final Warning,” discussing a recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
In the case, Genpak LLC, the NLRB ruled a final warning against a union-organizing employee for “stealing time” was unlawful because the warning was more severe than discipline imposed on other workers for similar or worse time theft.
“All employers should have strict requirements about employees clocking in before performing any work and clocking out before conducting any other personal business at the end of a shift,” Hoffman said.
