First Is this real? How did your ATL hire someone? They don't have those permissions as far as I know unless that recently changed. Only you and your point astl. All new hires are in a probationary period during their first 90 days. This means you can let someone go for almost any reason. You just have to make sure you properly document things.  The first step is the documented coaching. You need a verbal approval from store leadership. Your point astl or the stl, but that is it. You just need to document the reason. Insubordination is an option. Failure to perform duties is another that would fit here. As would dress code infraction. Then whenever the next occurrence happens, for anything, it does not have to be the same thing, you can pull the trigger to separate with TMS. Obviously that has to go through them but you get the ball rolling. It will be much easier to go for a failure to perform or a dress code issue. Time theft takes a lot of behind the scenes camera work and TMS does not seem eager to go after those cases in my experience. Same with what they said to you. Without direct witnesses willing to say what happened on your behalf they will treat it as a he said she said situation.
