AWOL Clause Samples
The AWOL (Absent Without Leave) clause defines the consequences and procedures when an employee is absent from work without prior authorization or notification. Typically, this clause outlines the steps an employer may take if an employee fails to report to work for a specified period, such as initiating disciplinary action or considering the absence as grounds for termination. Its core function is to set clear expectations for attendance and provide a structured response to unapproved absences, thereby minimizing workplace disruption and ensuring operational continuity.
