Stephen C. Mitchell, Esq., Seth Kaufman, and Brian Gershengorn (Fisher & Phillips, LLP), for the Respondent. William S. Massey, Esq. and Jessica E. Harris, Esq. (Gladstein, Reif & Meginniss, LLP), for the Charging Party Union. DECISION STATEMENT OF THE CASE Benjamin W. Green, Administrative Law Judge. A trial was conducted in this matter on July 10, 2018 in Newark, New Jersey. The complaint, as amended at trial, alleges that the Respondent unilaterally, without notifying and offering to bargain with the Union, (1) reduced the work hours of 20 unit employees and (2) discharged one and suspended three unit employees. The Respondent has denied these allegations. Additional complaint allegations were resolved by the parties and/or withdrawn by the General Counsel prior to trial. As discussed at length below, I find merit to the allegations which were litigated. Post-hearing briefs were filed by the General Counsel, the Respondent, and the Union. On the entire record, I make the following findings, conclusions of law, and recommendations. JURISDICTION The Respondent is a New Jersey Limited Liability Company with an office and place of business in New Milford, New Jersey and has been engaged in the business of providing long- term and post-hospital rehabilitation care. During the twelve-month period before the complaint issued, the respondent derived gross revenues in excess of $100,000. During the same time period, the Respondent purchased and received at its New Milford, New Jersey facility goods and supplies valued in excess of $5,000 directly from suppliers located outside the State of New Jersey. At all material times, the Respondent has been an employer engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(2), (6), and (7) of the Act, and the Union has been a labor organization within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act. Based on the foregoing, I find that this dispute affects commerce and that the Board has jurisdiction of this case, pursuant to Section 10(a) of JD(NY)-17-18 the Act. UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES FINDINGS OF FACT Procedural History Pursuant to a representation petition filed January 23, 2012 and a stipulated election 5 agreement approved on February 7, 2012, an election was conducted on March 9, 2012 in case 22-RC-073078 among the following unit of employees: All full time and regular part time nonprofessional employees including licensed practical nurses, certified nursing aides, dietary aides, housekeepers, laundry 10 aides, porters, recreation aides, restorative aides, rehabilitation techs, central supply clerks, unit secretaries, receptionists and building maintenance workers employed by the [Respondent] at its New Milford, New Jersey facility, but excluding all office clerical employees, cooks, registered nurses, dieticians, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapists, 15 occupational therapy assistants, speech therapists, social workers, staffing coordinators/schedulers, payroll/benefits coordinators, MDS specialists, MDS data clerks, account payable clerks, account receivable clerks, all other professional employees, guards and supervisors as defined in the Act. 20 A majority of the unit employees voted in favor of representation. The Respondent filed objections to the election, but those objections were overruled by the Board in decisions dated July 2, 2012 and January 9, 2013. In its January 9, 2013 decision, the Board certified the Union as the bargaining representative of unit employees. 800 River 25 Road Operating Co., 359 NLRB 522 (2013). The Respondent tested this certification by refusing to bargain. Upon additional developments, including the Supreme Court’s decision in NLRB v. Noel Canning, 134 S.Ct. 2550 (2014), on November 26, 2014, the Board conducted a de novo review of the Respondent’s election objections, rejected those objections, and issued a new Certification of Representative. On June 15, 2015, the Board found that the Respondent violated 30 Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act by refusing to recognize and bargain with the Union. On January 24, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit enforced the Board’s order. On March 21, 2017, the same Court of Appeals issued a formal mandate in accordance with its judgment of January 24, 2017. 35 Change in Hours The General Counsel contends that the following employees had their hours reduced during the payroll period ending on the dates listed below (third column): 40 Name Title Hours Change in Payroll Period Ending Abraham, Mariamma Recreation Assistant 2/1/2014 Boby, Rosilin Recreation Assistant 2/1/2014 Jiminez, Sara Recreation Assistant 2/1/2014 Timms, Donna Recreation Assistant 2/1/2014 Tom, Shiril Recreation Assistant 2/1/2014 Bustos, Benjamin Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 2 JD(NY)-17-18 Coronado, Evelyn Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Farr, Elaine Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Fontanez, Enrique Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Ricarze, Vicente Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Tolentino, Allan Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Varhese, George Dietary Aide 7/19/2014 Bazile, Desinette Housekeeper 7/19/2014 Benoit, Julienne Housekeeper 7/19/2014 Murray, Paulette Housekeeper 7/19/2014 Abouzeid, Charles Laundry Aide 7/19/2014 Ramkhalawan, Jean Laundry Aide 7/19/2014 Irabon, Edgardo Porter 7/19/2014 Hegarty, Andrew Maintenance Worker 9/16/2014 Sormani, Dawn-Marie Receptionist 3/28/2015 The Respondent introduced into evidence a wage and benefit summary which indicates that it was “revised 5/1/2019.” The wage and benefit summary includes a provision on paid leave which states, in part, as follows: 5 3) VACATION/HOLIDAY /SICK TIME General Provisions/Eligibility and Waiting Periods: 1. Employees actively employed on a full -time basis (regularly work 37.5 hours 10 or more per week) are eligible for vacation, holiday pay, and sick time. Employees actively employed on a part-time basis (regularly work 24 to less than 37.5 hours per week) are eligible for pro-rated vacation, holiday pay, and sick time. . . . 15 4. Depending on your position and work schedule, hourly and salaried employees generally work either 7.5 hour /day up to 37.5 hours /week or they may work 8 hours /day up to 40 hours /week. 20 . . . Vacation Provisions: 6. Employees may use their accrued vacation hours in a minimum of 30-minute 25 increments. To schedule vacation, employees must give their supervisor a written request at least four weeks in advance, or Center practice, whichever is greater. Approval of vacation requests is based on the needs of the Center and made in the discretion of the Supervisor. Consideration of vacation requests is given on a first come, first served basis. When vacation requests 30 are received at the same time, tenure with the Center will also be considered. . . . 13. Vacation hours may be taken based upon an employee's regularly scheduled work 35 day up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours. For example, an employee who is 3 JD(NY)-17-18 regularly scheduled to work a seven and one -half (7 5) hour day may take seven and one -half (7.5) hours of vacation time. Sick Time Provisions: 5 . . . 10. Employees may use their accrued sick time hours in a minimum of 30-minute increments. 10 11. Sick time hours may be used based upon an employee's regularly scheduled work day up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours. For example, an employee who is regularly scheduled to work a seven and one -half (7.5) hour day may use seven and one -half (7.5) sick time hours. 15 . . . Holiday Provisions: . . . 20 3. Eligible -time and part-time hourly and salaried employees will receive holiday pay based on the average number of hours paid in each pay period in the most recent three (3) full calendar months up to a maximum of seven and one-half (7.5) hours for each holiday (8 hours of pay for employees who work an 8 hour daily schedule). 25 Attached to this decision as Appendix B are tables reflecting the hours of each employee in question by payroll period and week, including regular time, overtime, retro hours, sick leave used, vacation leave used, and holiday hours. 30 The parties stipulated that the Respondent did not give the Union notice and an opportunity to bargain in advance of any alleged reduction of hours. The General Counsel relies exclusively on documents (particularly payroll records) and stipulations to establish a unilateral change in hours.1 The payroll records introduced by the 35 General Counsel indicate that employees largely accumulated (including time worked and leave) 40 hours per week before the payroll period in which their hours were allegedly reduced and 37.50 hours per week during and after the payroll period in which their hours were allegedly reduced. However, this pattern was not entirely consistent. Thus, it was not uncommon for employees to accumulate 39 to 39.75 hours per week before the alleged change and it was not 40 uncommon for employees to accumulate up to 38.75 hours after the alleged change. It was far more rare for an employee to accumulate less than 39 hours in a week before the alleged change or more than 38.75 hour after the alleged change.2 1 The General Counsel did not call any witnesses at trial. The Respondent contends that the General Counsel “cherry picked” payroll records (immediately before and after the alleged change) which were favorable to its case. The Respondent’s counsel indicated at trial an intention to introduce the “full” payroll records for a larger time period. However, the Respondent only introduced additional payroll records (beyond the General Counsel’s submission) for one employee (Hegarty). 2 These instances are highlighted in Appendix B. 4 JD(NY)-17-18 Payroll leave deductions were also cited as a basis for evaluating a change in employee work weeks from 40 hours to 37.5 hours. Thus, for example, paystubs of Coronado, Farr, Tolentino and Hegarty reflect the use of sick and vacation time in 8-hour increments (corresponding to a 40-hour work week) before the alleged change in hours and increments of 5 7.5 hours (corresponding to a 37.5-hour work week) during or after the alleged changed.3 More broadly, a review of the payroll records of all the employees in question reflect that sick/vacation was largely taken in 8-hour increments before the alleged change and 7.5-hour increments were largely taken after the alleged change. However, the payroll records are not entirely consistent in this regard either. 10 Maureen Montegari was called by the Respondent and the only witness to testify at trial. Montegari is employed by Care One Management LLC (Care One). She was a Care One Regional Director of Human Resources from 2010 to 2012, when she was promoted to Vice President of Human Resources (her current position). She has had responsibilities for the 15 Respondent’s facility in Milford, New Jersey in both positions. Montegari testified that, since at least 2009 (when the wage and benefit summary was revised), full time employees have regularly been scheduled to work 37.5 hours per week, but may work additional hours if they pick up an extra shift (for example, if someone calls in sick). 20 According to Montegari, the shortest shifts are the four-hour shifts worked by certain part time employees. Montegari testified that a facility administrator may sometimes hire full time employees (particularly rehab techs and rehabilitation assistants) to work 40-hour weeks as an “exception” in light of the needs of the facility. However, Montegari is not involved in these decisions. 25 With regard to particular employees at issue in this case, Montegari testified that Sormani was transferred from unit secretary to receptionist and speculated that the facility administrator changed Sormani’s hours from 40 hours to 37.5 hours as a result. However, Montegari admitted that she “was not part of [Sormani’s] transfer to a new position.” Montegari also identified a 30 master schedule for the period December 2015 to April 2017 which shows that Hegarty was largely scheduled to work 40-hour weeks throughout this time period.4 However, Montegari testified that “the schedule does not capture whether or not the hours were worked[,][i]t captures what they were scheduled to work.” 35 Suspensions and Discharge The Respondent took the following adverse employment actions against the employees named below: 40 3 I consider increments of 8 and 7.5 hours to include multiples of those numbers, respectively. Thus, 16 or 24 hours of leave reflects 8-hour increments while 15 and 22.5 hours of leave reflects 7.5-hour increments. The payroll records also contain certain limited increments of leave that were not 8 hours or 7.5 hours (i.e., during the June 7, 2014 payroll period, Fontanez took 9 hours of sick leave the first week and Coronado took 10.5 hours of sick leave the second week). 4 According to Montegari, the schedule was produced for this period of time because the Respondent began using computerized scheduling software Smartlinx Solutions LLC in December 2015. Before then, much of the schedules were handwritten and are no longer available. 5 JD(NY)-17-18 Employee Adverse Employment Action Date of Action Jasmine Gordon Suspended October 10, 2016 Shantai Bills Discharged January 4, 2017 Linda Rhoads Suspended February 1, 2017 Jesus Mendez Suspended March 23, 2017 The parties stipulated that the Respondent administered these suspensions and the discharge without notifying and offering to bargain with the Union before doing so. The parties also stipulated that the Union never demanded bargaining regarding these particular adverse employment actions. 5 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS Section 8(a)(1) Allegations 10 Reduction of Hours The General Counsel contends, and I agree, that the Respondent violated Section 8(a)(1) and (5) of the Act by reducing the hours of 20 unit employees.5 The Board recently addressed “what constitutes a ‘change’ requiring notice to the union and the opportunity for bargaining prior 15 to implementation.” Raytheon Network Centric Systems, 365 NLRB No. 161 (Dec. 15, 2017). In Raytheon, the Board found “that the [employer’s] modifications in unit employee healthcare benefits in 2013 were a continuation of its past practice of making similar changes at the same time every year from 2001 through 2012.”6 Id. Since ongoing healthcare benefit modifications did “not materially vary in kind or degree from the changes made in prior years,” they did not 20 constitute a “change” and could be made unilaterally. Here, the employees in question largely accrued 40 hours per week before and 37.5 hours per week during or after the payroll period identified by the General Counsel as the period when the change occurred. However, the employees did not always work exactly 40 or 37.5 25 hour per week. Accordingly, a question arises whether there was a material change in employees’ hours or the mere continuation of minor deviations in hours insufficient to establish a “change.” Preliminarily, I note that the changes in hours cannot be attributed to employees working 30 overtime since Montegari testified that employees only worked overtime hours when they picked up additional shifts. Montegari identified the shortest shifts as four hours and the weekly differences in hours at issue here are less than four hours. Therefore, the differences in hours were not the result of employees working additional overtime shifts. 35 5 “The Board has long held that an employer ‘acts at its peril in making changes in terms and conditions of employment during the period that objections to an election are pending’ because if the union is ultimately certified, the employer will have violated Section 8(a)(5) by making those changes.” The Ardit Co., 364 NLRB No. 130 (Oct. 27, 2016) quoting Mike O'Connor Chevrolet, 209 NLRB 701, 703 (1974), enf. denied on other grounds 512 F.2d 684 (8th Cir. 1975). Here, the Respondent does not contend it was entitled to act unilaterally because the final certification did not issue until November 26, 2014. 6 Raytheon addressed the significance of changes made during the term of a collective bargaining agreement pursuant to a management rights clause, but that is not an issue here. 6 JD(NY)-17-18 Further, I place no significance on Montegari’s testimony or the wage and benefit summary to the extent they indicate that employees were generally scheduled to work 37.5 hours per week.7 The undisputed evidence demonstrates that some employees worked 40-hour weeks and Montegari was not involved in specific scheduling decisions which were made by administrators at the facility level. The best evidence is payroll records reflecting the hours 5 employees actually accumulated each week. See Electronic Data Systems International Corporation, 278 NLRB 125 (1986). The Respondent had the opportunity to present additional payroll records to the extent those introduced by the General Counsel may have been isolated or somehow taken of context, and largely failed to do so. 10 In this case, the alleged reductions in hours did reflect a material variation in kind and degree as to constitute a “change” which required bargaining. Employees who generally accrued 40 hours per week and rarely if ever accrued less than 39 hours per week experienced a reduction in hours to 37.5-hour weeks and rarely if ever accrued more than 38.75 hours per week after the change.8 Thus, unlike in Raytheon, the Respondent did not effect changes at the 15 same time and in the same manner as it had in the past. The Respondent contends that the General Counsel did not establish a prima facie case because it “cherry picked” payroll records and did not call any witnesses at trial. However, in my opinion, the General Counsel did establish a prima facie case (and nothing more). The General 20 Counsel introduced sufficient evidence to indicate that, on its face, a change occurred which was different than prior changes. As noted above, the Respondent failed to rebut the General Counsel’s evidence or the pattern it demonstrated. Turning to individual employees specifically addressed by the Respondent in its brief, I do 25 not rely on Montegari’s testimony that Sormani’s hours were reduced because she (Sormani) changed positions. Montegari admitted that she “was not part of [Sormani’s] transfer to a new position.” Such testimony without personal knowledge of relevant events and the dates thereof is not helpful.9 30 However, Sormani’s hours were more sporadic before the alleged reduction in hours (payroll period ending March 28, 2015) than other employees and this requires a closer look. Five out of 10 weeks prior to the payroll period ending March 28, 2015, Sormani accrued less than 39 hours of pay (as reflected in Appendix B and below): 35 Payroll Ending Week 1 - Hours Week 2 - Hours 1/17/2015 40 + 5.75 OT 34.75 7 Likewise, I do not find the master schedules relevant to the extent it shows that Hegarty was scheduled to work 40-hour weeks beginning December 2015. These schedules do not address the payroll periods at the time of the alleged change and do not reflect the hours that Hegarty actually worked. 8 An employer does not violate Section 8(a)(5) of the Act when it unilaterally implements a change that is not “material, substantial and significant.” Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Fayetteville, Inc., 330 NLRB 990, 902 (2000). However, the Board has held that a change in hours, even on a limited basis, will be considered significant. Id. See also Beverly Health and Rehabilitation Services, Inc., 346 NLRB 1319, 1355 (2006). 9 The Respondent asserted in its brief that a change in the department code on Sormani’s payroll registers for the pay period ending May 9, 2015 reflects a change in her position. However, the record evidence does not indicate what the change in code actually means and, regardless, the change in code occurred after the alleged change in hours (three payroll periods earlier). 7 JD(NY)-17-18 1/31/2015 24 + 16 sick 40 vacation 2/14/2015 40 + 0.25 OT 37.5 2/28/2015 37.75 + 7.5 holiday 30.25 + 8 vacation 3/14/2015 40 + 1.5 OT 38 3/28/2015 37.75 36.50 + 1.33 vacation 4/11/2015 37.5 37.5 4/25/2015 38 37.75 5/9/2015 37.75 37.5 5/23/2015 37.75 38.25 6/6/2015 30 + 7.5 holiday 37.5 Nevertheless, Sormani accumulated 40 hours five out of 10 weeks prior to the payroll period during which the alleged change occurred and did not accrue more than 38.25 hours after the alleged change occurred. Montegari did not actually deny that Sormani’s schedule was switched from a 40-hour week to a 37.5-hour week (although, as noted above, she did not evince 5 any personal knowledge of the same). While, in Sormani’s case, there is some overlap in the range of hours before and after the alleged unlawful change, I find the evidence sufficient to establish that she experienced a material variation in her hours.10 Turning to Hegarty, the one employee for whom the Respondent produced additional 10 payroll records, the additional records did show more discrepancies before and after his alleged change in his hours. Thus, if holiday pay is excluded, records for the payroll periods from January 5, 2013 to August 2, 2014 (before the alleged change in hours during the payroll period ending August 16, 2014) showed that Hegarty accumulated less than 39 hours in 15 weeks. However, this is still a relatively small percentage (18%) in the context of 42 payroll periods 15 covering 84 weeks. Far more often, Hegarty accumulated 40 hours per week during this time period. Accordingly, the expanded payroll records prior to the alleged change do not, in my opinion, defeat the General Counsel’s case that a change in hours occurred. The more significant evidence from the Respondent’s submission is Hegarty’s 20 accumulation of over 40 hours during the first week of the payroll period ending September 27, 2014 and the first weeks of the payroll periods ending October 25 and November 8, 2014. Hegarty also worked 39.75 hours the week ending December 6, 2014. Thus, unlike the other employees, Hegarty went back to working certain 40-hour weeks fairly quickly after the alleged change. On the other hand, from the payroll period ending August 16, 2014 (when the change 25 allegedly occurred) to the end of the year, Hegarty accumulated less than 39 hours 18 of 22 weeks. By contrast, Hegarty accrued at least 40 hours 18 of 22 weeks immediately prior to the payroll period ending August 16, 2014. While the allege change is most ambiguous with regard to Hegarty, I find the evidence sufficient to establish that a change of his hours did occur. 30 Hegarty’s payroll records further show that, beginning the payroll period ending February 28, 2015, his hours returned, more regularly, to 40-hour weeks.11 While this suggests that 10 Although not specifically addressed by the Respondent, I find that Abraham and Ricarze experienced a change in hours upon the same rational. Like Sormani, Abraham and Ricarze accumulated less than 39 hours in weeks prior to the alleged change in hours. However, more often, they accumulated at least 39 hours in advance of the alleged change and did not accumulate 39 hours after the alleged change. 11 The Respondent produced Hegarty’s payroll records for the period 2013 to 2016. Appendix B only includes the hours from 2013 to 2015. However, Hegarty continued to accrue 40-hour weeks in 2016. 8 JD(NY)-17-18 Hegarty’s 40-hour week may have been reinstated in 2015, it does not change my finding that a unilateral change occurred in the first place. The Respondent argues in its brief that, to the extent the General Counsel established any violation, it must be limited to the pay registers the General Counsel entered into evidence. I do not limit my finding in this regard and any backpay associated with the changes in hours can be fleshed out and determined, if necessary, during a 5 compliance proceeding. However, to the extent it is shown in such a proceeding that unilateral changes were ultimately reversed, the Respondent’s liability would be limited on that basis. Based on the foregoing, I find that the Respondent violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act by unilaterally reducing the hours of employees without notifying the Union and offering to 10 bargain. Unilateral Suspensions and Discharge The General Counsel contends that the Respondent unilaterally suspended three 15 employees and discharged another employee without notifying and offering to bargain with the Union. I agree. The Board has held that “discretionary discipline is a mandatory subject of bargaining and that employers may not unilaterally impose serious discipline . . . . “ Total Security Management 20 Illinois 1, LLC, 364 NLRB No. 106 (2016) Serious discipline includes suspension and discharge as those actions “have an inevitable and immediate impact on employees’ tenure, status, or earnings.” Id. “It is well established that where the manner of the respondent's presentation of a change in terms and conditions of employment to the union precludes a meaningful opportunity for the union to bargain, the change is a fait accompli and a failure by the union 25 to request bargaining will not constitute a waiver. United States Postal Service, 366 NLRB No. 168 (Aug. 23, 2018) citing Aggregate Industries, 359 NLRB 1419, 1422 (2013) and Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital, 336 NLRB 1021, 1023 (2001). Here, the facts are not in dispute and the Respondent simply asserts that extant precedent should be overruled. 30 The adverse employment actions taken against the four employees in question were “serious” as the Board defines it and the Respondent admits that it did not give the Union notice and an opportunity to bargain. Further, the Union’s subsequent failure to request bargaining over discipline which already issued does not constitute a waiver or a defense. Since I am bound by extant Board precedent, I find that the Respondent violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) by 35 disciplining employees as alleged in the complaint. Conclusions of Law 1. The Respondent, 800 River Road Operating Company, LLC d/b/a Care One at Milford, is 40 an employer within the meaning of Section 2(2), 2(6), and (7) of the Act. 2.

The unfair labor practices committed by the Respondent affect Commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act. Remedy 10 Having found that the Respondents has engaged in certain unfair labor practices, I find that they must be ordered to cease and desist therefrom and to take certain affirmative action designed to effectuate the policies of the Act. The Respondent having refused to notify and offer to bargain with the Union regarding a 15 reduction in the hours of certain employees and certain adverse employment actions, I will order Respondent to rescind those unilateral changes.
