I work with a guy who has repeatedly called off to the tune of 7 times over several weeks. Often with little to no warning and usually with 30 minutes to an hour notice if that. He was written up for it and after getting the write up he’s now resorted no no call no showing. Incidentally another employee on his way home spotted the wayward worker driving around. We suspect this individual wants to be fired as his behavior has indicated that for several weeks. In the spring this individual attempted to gain disability benefits but found he had to go back to work and use his vacation time to cover his missing time. When that failed he resorted to the calling off 2 times a week when he had to cover for 3pm to 11pm ( which he was advised he would have to do from tine to time). Now we’ve had to assume he’s not coming back and every employee is going to have to pull a 12 hour day 1 time a week to cover for his shift. I don’t know what this guy’s problem is but it’s obvious he never should have been hired
Thanks for the comment! If not hired, definitely fired much much sooner! Its okay to fire people - you just need to document (as you have) and then let them go. It's no fun, but terminating bad employees is a big part of leading a company!
Hey Nysmnyd! Absolutely agree. That would not be a "no call no show" =). It could be a terminable offense, IF the LOA is rejected. The vacation request already is, but whether you could say they didn't show at work when there were supposed to depends on the LOA process and outcome. Since they submitted the LOA, you were informed they would be out. Its not job abandonment then =). Totally could fire for cause (again, assuming the LOA process leads to rejection).
I don't understand how anyone at my company still has a full-time job with benefits because my manager treats his absences employees as gold when they don't even bother to show up for weeks to a year with no intention of making up hours and they still get full-time paid with benefits. Did I miss something? I have reported twice to HR and hardly anything has changed. I feel like I need to get better evidence and talk to HR whenever these employees are out whenever they feel like it. I was told that it's none of my business whenever they are out for whatever reason. Ugh...We're short handed as it is!
Just found your UA-cam channel! I like what I've seen so far!
Awesome! Thank you!

It's not a no call no show, when a LOA request was in the process and known about. Also a vacation request was denied.

Really hard to care about a company more than its leadership! My sympathies. Thanks for the comment!
