Overview
- The 22-year-old repeatedly arrived about 40 minutes before her 7:30 a.m. shift despite verbal and written warnings dating back to 2023.
- Judges considered records showing at least 19 early arrivals and attempts to register attendance via the app before reaching the office.
- The court said the core issue was refusal to follow instructions, finding a serious breach under Article 54 of the Spanish Workers’ Statute.
- The employer’s allegation that she sold a used company car battery without permission contributed to a pattern of disloyalty cited in the ruling.
- The judgment currently stands in Alicante, and the worker can appeal to the Supreme Court of Valencia.
