OPDATE 15:03:2006 1st pp on or after

4.15.1 The absence of an employee from work for a continuous period exceeding three working days without the consent of the employer and without notification to the employer will be prima facie evidence that the employee has abandoned their employment.

4.15.2 If, within a period of 14 days from their last attendance at work or the date of their last absence in respect of which notification has been given or consent has been granted, an employee has not established to the satisfaction of their employer, that they were absent for reasonable cause, the employee will be deemed to have abandoned their employment.

4.15.3 Termination of employment by abandonment in accordance with this clause operates from the date of the last attendance at work or the last day’s absence in respect of which consent was granted, or the date of the last absence in respect of which notification was given to the employer whichever is the latter.
