In Brazil this kind of argument for dismissal would not hold in labour court at all.
Specially when employers report hours in what the Brazilian justice call "british timing", where employees clock-in and clock-out at the exact hour. Brazilian Justice expects a natural 10 to 15 minute range (to both sides) here...
- klipklop 3y agoBelieve it or not being slightly late is commonly used to fire union employees in the US as well. Usually the union and business come to an agreement on such policies. These are then enforced with no exceptions. Even for 20 year employees. There is zero flexibility or nuance for special situations. If your employer does not like you in the US they will do petty things like fire you for being 1 minute late. The best the union can do is make it so you have to be 1 minute late several times before you are canned.
