The local job service here informed me that if an employee is a no call no show for 3 days it is a volintary quit. If the employee is sick more than 3 days you can require a doctors note telling you when the employee will be able to work. If the employee does not have a doctors note he is not sick and the 3 day no call, no show applies.
Because of this, I learned not to chase those who do not want to work.
Just record when the employee was supposed to work and did not show or call. After 3 days you list them a a volitary quit and prepare thier last paycheck on you next payday. The only thing you may have to chase is company property. Of course you do not give out the pay check untill all company propertyis returned.
When the former employee files for unemployment you will get a call or letter asking why he/she is no longer working. you just inform them that the individual was a 3 day no call and no show and therefor quit.
I have yet to have my unemployment records hit by those who are too lazy to work or act like an adult.
