job abandonment
Leaving without notice
Job abandonment is when an employee stops showing up for work without notice or explanation and doesn't return.
It's typically treated as a voluntary resignation after a set number of consecutive no-shows—often three days.
Employers use job abandonment policies to distinguish genuine quits from emergencies: After five days of no contact, HR processed it as job abandonment.
