In most places I have worked, no call no shows are automatic terminations. I believe that's the way it should be, unless you are unconscious, comatose, or physically unable to communicate, and you call the boss as soon as you can to advise of your situation.

That question has come up at several IMSC conferences. With a lot of schedulers also being shoppers, there were quite a few willing to answer each time. The flake or fail rates for first times (for that MSC, not necessarily all first timers) was variously estimated at 50 to 60 percent. Considering that a first time shopper for Company X may well have done shops for other MSCs previously, that was pretty shocking. But, some schedulers, addressing that aspect, basically said that, in their view, it was probably an issue of little experience, not "no experience at all," that drove the "new to Company X" flake rate.

It's been years since I managed a workforce, but if memory serves the standard for job abandonment was no call no show for 3 consecutive days. I don't know if that was a legal standard or a play-it-safe company policy, but 3 days was considered necessary to safeguard against a wrongful termination claim.

It's called work ethic and sadly this is rapidly diminishing in America. 'The land of the free' no longer means we are free from oppression but has given (some not all) Americans the mind set they can do nothing and live free. And unfortunately 'no call no show' is not automatic termination, I agree it should be, but isn't, in the major chains I know about.
Stepping off my soap box now...... next.......

I have never flaked. I have re-scheduled on occasion. I just don't understand why anyone would have to flake, we do have emails, phone calls, etc.

Very early, I missed some shops because I applied for them and did not get an email when it was assigned to me. That is when I learned to record every application I make.
