Heading: The Case Center

Text: 10 In December 1994, Riceland opened the Case Center, a computer learning center for its employees. Riceland required its employees to spend at least four hours per month working on educational computer programs in the Case Center, but it would pay employees up to twelve hours per month for such work. Myra McNeil (McNeil) was in charge of administering the Case Center. 11 Riceland paid its employees for the number of hours that they spent in the Case Center (hereinafter door time), rather than for the amount of time they actually spent working on the computer programs (hereinafter lesson time). Riceland kept track of the amount of door time by having employees scan their employee badges when they entered the Case Center. Most employees had discrepancies between their door time and their lesson time because of the time it took them to log onto the computer and select a program. Lesson time also did not account for time an employee spent talking with McNeil or taking bathroom or smoking breaks.
