Overview
- The employee routinely arrived 30 to 45 minutes before her contractual 7:30 a.m. start at a delivery firm in Alicante.
- Management issued verbal warnings in late 2023, followed by a written warning, which the employee ignored.
- The company dismissed her for disciplinary reasons, arguing there were no tasks available at that hour and no contribution was made.
- In a ruling issued in January 2026, the court found the repeated early arrivals disrupted time control and internal organization.
- Because the dismissal was deemed justified, the employee's appeal failed and no compensation was awarded.
