Good cause for absence from work definition
Good cause for absence from work means any compelling personal circumstance which would normally be recognized by the individual’s employer as a proper excuse for absence, or which would prevent a reasonable person under the same conditions from reporting for work. Examples of such good cause shall include, but not be limited to: personal illness or injury which prevented the individual from reporting to work; a serious isolated transportation problem over which the individual had no control; or a sudden event which required the individual to address a compelling personal responsibility or family emergency.
