Not punching out leads to termination
for Calgary flour plant employee
Misunderstanding
over 'sarcastic' exchange
with supervisor
A MID-SHIFT, off-site break to Tim Hortons
was deemed enough for a flour packer at the ADM
Milling plant in Calgary to be terminated.
Jessy Gobeil was a seven-month employee
when on Feb. 19, 2016, she left her position at 4
a.m. She advised colleague Damara Smith, who
was working as operator one, that she was leaving
for a quick coffee and cigarette break.
As an operator one, it was Gobeil's understand-
ing that Smith was in charge of the floor's op-
erations during that shift. When she left the site,
however, Gobeil neglected to punch-out her time
card, which was the normal procedure for work-
ers who went on a lunch break.
