In California, there’s no hard. Law that governs the amount of time you could be absent from a job before it’s considered abandonment.
However, your employer can set their own policies. If you get fired for job about abandonment, sometimes it’s a pretext, meaning they’re just using that as an excuse for the real reason they fired you.
So sometimes they’ll say job abandonment when you’re out because you’re pregnant. Sometimes they’ll say job abandonment because you told them, hey, I’m having a surgery, but maybe you didn’t put in writing.
They’re not. They’re like, oh, you just haven’t showed up. No, I told you that I’m out for surgery. So if you get fired for quote unquote job abandonment, call us Smith Law or an employment personal injury in class action law firm, you can call us at 1-833 law flip.
