Early Arrival Firing: After consistently showing up early for work for almost two years, a motivated employee was let go. The woman who was laid off filed a lawsuit against the corporation to contest her dismissal. Nevertheless, the employer was found not to be at fault by the court.

What Actually Happened?
For almost two years, the 22-year-old employee in Spain always came to her workplace forty minutes early, between 6.45 and 7 am, according to media reports. She was repeatedly asked not to arrive before her shift, which began at 7:30 am. Despite her early arrival, the employer claimed that she had nothing to do.

Her angry manager, however, fired her based on significant misconduct when she refused to listen. According to the site, the employer claimed that she was merely disobeying instructions rather than making a contribution by showing up early.

Complaint filed in Court on Early Arrival Firing: 
The woman claimed that her dismissal was unfair and filed an appeal with the Social Court of Alicante in Spain. The site claims that the judges were informed that she persisted in arriving early in spite of many written and verbal cautions.

She tried to log in using the corporate app even before arriving at the company campus on one of the 19 occasions she arrived early to work. She was also charged with breach of trust by her employer. She had a pattern of treachery, the court found. The court ruled in favor of the employer, stating that her “excessive punctuality” was not a problem. But it was her disregard for workplace regulations.

According to the site, the court determined that she had violated Article 54 of the Spanish Workers’ Statute.

Another employee reportedly said that the Spanish woman “disrupted team coordination” by regularly showing up early for work.
