Nurse Katherine Dohanicz filed the suit, claiming the hospital’s computerized payroll system tracks employees’ check-in and check-out times to the exact minute. The alleged problem is that the system rounds those times to the nearest 15-minute interval when calculating payroll.
The lawsuit claims that the hospital has enacted a disciplinary system that “transforms the rounding system into [one] that is substantially rigged in the [hospital’s] favor,” according to the report.
South Jersey Healthcare said it is not its policy to comment on pending litigation, according to the report.
