An employee who is absent without authorization for three (3) consecutive work days shall be presumed to have abandoned the position and to have voluntarily resigned from County service.
Emotional and Psychological Consequences Job abandonment can cause significant stress and anxiety for both employees and employers. For employees, the decision to abandon their job without notice can evoke feelings of guilt, insecurity, and uncertainty about the future.
Job abandonment occurs when an employee does not report to work as scheduled and has no intention of returning to the job but does not notify the employer of his or her intention to quit. Employers should develop a policy defining how many days of no-call/no-show will be considered job abandonment.
Disciplinary action is governed by Administrative Order 7-3. It is the responsibility of all supervisors to maintain standards of employee conduct in ance with the personnel rules of Miami-Dade County, and any stated rules of a department, division or other established work unit.
Employees who fail to report to work for three consecutive business days without notifying the company of the absence will be considered as having voluntarily resigned as a result of job abandonment.
Employees need to understand what your organization considers job abandonment. You must define how many days of absence without providing notice constitute job abandonment. The standard is typically three consecutive days or missed shifts, but employers can choose what best suits their organization.
