No call no show?

Published

What should be done about a no call no show? Is it grounds for termination? I ask because we had one tonight and it really ticked me off. It is so hard to find someone to come in after 1100 pm. This is this persons first no call no show but they are notorious for leaving a shift 3 and 4 hours early and also calling out shortly after their shift starts. We also used to have a nurse who was a repeat. No call no show ans she. Kept her job forever. I really feel disrespected when something like this happens, I'm sure its not personal but it sure feels that way!

At the facility I work at it's "one and done" (this is the official rule) but I noticed that some nurses have been allowed to get away with this more than once...for CNAs it's just once and they're gone. I don't understand this, but isn't it management's duty to ensure that all employees are treated equally??

... A no call, no show at my facility would put an employee on probation. A second would be grounds for termination...

This has been the policy everywhere I've worked... unless the episode is deemed excusable based on reliable documentation / corroboration.
