ABSENCE WITHOUT NOTICE WARNING LETTER TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an absence without notice warning letter?
An Absence Without Notice Warning Letter is a written notice to an employee documenting a “no call/no show” or failure to follow the company’s call-in procedure. It records the date(s) missed, the attendance policy, and the expectations for future reporting.
How is this different from a general attendance warning?
This letter focuses on missing work without notifying a supervisor or following the call-in policy. A general attendance warning may cover repeated tardiness, excessive absences, or pattern issues. This template targets the no-notice aspect and the required communication steps.
What should be included in the warning letter?
Include: the missed date(s) and shift times, who the employee was required to contact, policy references, the employee’s explanation (if any), corrective actions, and consequences if it happens again.
What if the employee had an emergency?
If the employee provides a legitimate reason, the employer may request documentation and apply exceptions as allowed by policy and law. This template includes a section to document the explanation and any accommodation or leave process.
Can repeated no-call/no-shows lead to termination?
Often yes, especially if repeated or if company policy treats multiple consecutive no-call/no-show days as job abandonment. This template includes a clear consequences statement you can tailor.
