Immediately afterwards the tracking stopped. Until now that is; there is a hispanic employee - who was there at the time last time, who is now suffering the same nit picking. She has been told that if she comes in late 3 times according to policy she will be fired.
For a period of 3.5 years before the 1.5 year 1 month long incident there was no tracking like this observed. It only occurs when they for whatever reason do not want an employee any longer.

Unfortunately as Firestorm said it depends on the labour laws governing your state. Timber might know more but my understanding is that at will employment basically means they can hire and fire as they choose, for whatever reason.
