Add Comment Question: I am unable to attend work right now(flooded out of home/lived on work property) work now telling me I haven't given notice of absences (even though I did), work now telling me that if I don't show up to work they will "assume I have abandoned my duties with the company"--I'm not quitting, they've been told I want to get back to work asap. Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. This will be a situation where the question to be determined is if they had cause to terminate your employment (or if it was abandoned) or not. A proper assessment of the appropriate answer to that question will require a more thorough understanding of the facts. It is important that you get legal advice in this situation. To that end, you can contact the number below to schedule a full consultation with an employment lawyer. We will be happy to help any way that we can.
