Jack was working as a carpenter for a popular hardware store. The Office Manager did not keep track of the overtime hours Jack put in. She claims that Jack never filled in the overtime forms needed for processing and documentation. Jack says he cannot read very well and the forms are confusing. He is sure that he told the Office Manager the number of hours he worked and states that it was up to her to document his time.
The store policy says that all employees must fill in their timesheets and overtime forms every week and hand them in to the Office Manager for processing.
The Office Manager is suing Jack for assaulting her. She claims he slapped her across the face when she told him that his lack of reading skills aren’t her problem and it is not her job to fill in his timesheets or overtime forms. In fact, it is against store policy for someone else to fill in another worker’s timesheet. Her job is to only process the sheets as they are given.
Jack admits he slapped the Office Manager. Jack is suing the store claiming that they still owe him money.
You be the judge…
