Employee found guilty of violating time and leave policy terminated from the position


A New York City eligibility specialist [Respondent] was found guilty of violating time and leave policy when she left work 5-7 minutes early on 215 occasions over the course of one year. At trial, it was shown that the Respondent had been ordered to cease and desist from the practice of leaving early, but had failed to comply with supervisor warnings on multiple occasions.

Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings Administrative Law Judge Ingrid M. Addison recommended termination of Respondent’s employment, since respondent had previously been disciplined for similar misconduct.
