Woman ordered to repay ,000 to her boss for ‘time theft’
Karlee Besse, a Canadian accountant, was fired and ordered to pay her ex-employer $2,756 because the time-tracking software on her laptop showed she lied about working 50 hours. Besse claimed she was fired without “just cause, “ but her employer said she had been committing time theft. Privacy advocates say this kind of monitoring is intrusive and worry it will normalise workplace surveillance.
