Overview
- The employee repeatedly arrived roughly 40 minutes before a 7:30 a.m. start despite verbal and written warnings dating to 2023.
- Evidence presented to the court showed at least 19 early arrivals and attempts to register attendance via the company app before reaching the office.
- The employer also accused her of selling a used company car battery without permission, which the court said contributed to a pattern of disloyalty.
- The tribunal ruled the conduct amounted to serious misconduct under Article 54, emphasizing refusal to follow workplace instructions rather than punctuality.
- The judgment currently stands with a potential appeal to the Supreme Court of Valencia, and public reaction online has been mixed.
