I am an HR Manager and have received an email from an employee who has told me that he will be leaving the country for a few days to attend a family wedding. He did not seek my prior agreement to this request and since the email I have not heard from him, several days have passed. As far as I am concerned, this is unauthorised absence. How do I handle it?
You should act quickly, unauthorised absences can be costly to any business and it is important to try and resolve such an issue as soon as it emerges.
