August 2026 – Job Abandonment, “3 Days No Call/No Show” Separations
August 2026– Job Abandonment, “3 Days No Call/No Show” Separations
Supervisors MUST do the following in Workday to ensure the business process is correct.
- Primary Reason: Select “Involuntary” > For Cause (Not Eligible for Rehire)
- Secondary Reason: Selected “Voluntary” > Job Abandonment.
The above selections will automatically populate “not eligible for rehire.”
Please be sure to attach the following as supporting documentation:
- Attendance record documenting the no call/no show (NCNS) days.
- Job Abandonment Notification Template (Copy of email confirmation and letter must be attached to the Workday record.)
What is the correct termination date to use for 3 days NCNS?
The termination date is the fourth day. (E.g. Your employee is a NCNS, August 21, 22, 23, which makes the termination date August 24, 2026.)
NOTE: Enter this action in Workday as timely as possible. Salaried staff can possibly be overpaid WHEN there is a delay in entering the termination action in Workday. (E.g. The termination date is August 24, 2026, but the Workday entry occurred September 5, 2026. Payroll uses available leave balance to offset the overpayment.)
By following the above steps, job abandonment dismissals will automatically route to your Employee Relations Partner for review and approval.
NCNS terminations:
- MUST go through the rehire appeal process IF there is a desire to return to UAMS or another UA System campus.
- Are eligible to appeal their rehire status, 12 months after the termination date in Workday. (The rehire appeal form is located here, in the frequently used forms area of the OHR Employee Relations website.)
