Absent from Duty Clause Samples
The "Absent from Duty" clause defines the rules and consequences when an employee fails to attend work without authorization. Typically, this clause outlines the procedures for reporting absences, the documentation required (such as medical certificates), and the potential disciplinary actions for unapproved or unexplained absences. Its core function is to ensure workplace reliability and accountability by setting clear expectations for attendance and providing a framework for managing unauthorized absences.

(b) Except in circumstances where you have a reasonable concern about an imminent threat to your health and safety and do not unreasonably fail to comply with a direction to perform alternate available work, if you refuse to carry out any duty or duties which you are reasonably required and requested to do in the course of your employment, you will be regarded as absent from duty and may not be paid until you carry out the duties as required.
(c) If you are absent from work for more than 10 consecutive working days without authorisation by ANZ, and you do not contact your manager during that time or despite such contact fail to establish to the satisfaction of your manager that you were absent for reasonable cause, ANZ is entitled to assume that you have abandoned your employment.
