    Default What is Considered Walking Off the Job

    An employee walked out before finding out that he was getting suspended, was not scheduled to work for that day. Is this still considered walking out?

    It's not precisely clear what you're ultimately getting at. A person is free to consider it whatever they please, but it may be that you're thinking there's some legal definition of "walking out" that you need to worry about?

    If the person wasn't scheduled to work that day but the employer asked him to come in to a meeting to hear the news that he was "getting suspended" but he didn't show up at that meeting, I suppose the employer's free to consider that insubordination. I don't know that I'd consider it "walking off the job" as such if the person wasn't even scheduled/there to work. (Please note that the law won't require someone to tell a worker in person that they're suspended.)

    Its called "the employee terminated the employment". No unemployment. Sorry .. should have waited to be fired.

    If I am reading between the lines correctly, the employee was scheduled to work on the day in question, showed up, found out he was going to be fired, then left. His employer deemed that to constitute a resignation. Now he's wondering if he can use the fact that the employer covered his shift for that day in anticipation of firing him as a defense to the employer's assertion that he walked off the job.
