Document background
A Dismissal Letter For Absenteeism is a crucial document used when terminating an employee in the Philippines due to excessive or unauthorized absences. This document must strictly comply with the Philippine Labor Code's requirements, including the two-notice rule and due process procedures. It is typically issued after previous warnings have been given and documented, and when the employee's absenteeism has reached a level constituting gross negligence of duties or willful breach of trust. The letter should include specific details of absences, reference previous warnings, cite relevant company policies and legal bases, and provide clear instructions for final clearance procedures. It serves as a vital legal document that may be scrutinized in case of labor disputes, making it essential for the content to be comprehensive, accurate, and compliant with Philippine labor laws.
