If this was the private sector, they would be considered to have abandoned their jobs after 3 days””””

IF I was still running a business & I had employees who were deliberately not coming to work & had literally fled to another state, I would have already done the following:

Stop all credit cards in the name of the company, while notifying in writing that ANY charges occurred after 5 PM on Tues of last week would not be honored, as they would be considered UNAUTHORIZED charges to my company credit cards.

Cut off all Cell phones in the company name

Cut off all internet access in the company name

Cut off all airline priviledges in the company name

Cut off all vehicle leases in the company name

Notify the insurance company which carried the policies on those same vehicles that I apparently had a mutiny on my hands & that I wanted insurance cancelled in the shortest time possible.

IF any vehicles were owned by the company, I would announce publically that if those vehicles were not inside the confines of the company property within 24 hours after 5 PM on Tues, I would file stolen vehicles reports with the local police, state police or sheriff’s offices. I would make it clear that I would press charges about the vehicles. I would send certified return receipt letters to their household addresses, notifying them of this action on my part.

Refuse to pay any expense reports that cover the time frames of the missing employees.

Notify carriers of company health benefits that we had absent employees, who may or may not be fired very soon. I would send certified/return receipt letters to their homes/families notifying them of a cut off of health benefits looming.

Notify carriers of company pension/401 plans that missing employees were in jeopardy of being fired. Letter about health benefits would include info about pensions, etc.

IF ANY of these missing employees DARED to show up at my company with ANY KIND of a ‘Doctor’s excuse’, I would audit thru a lawyer & investigator the doctor’s records to determine the exact time the employee called for an appointment-—when that appointment was held—what the records of any ailments were that the employee presented— & copies of the prescriptions this doctor told them to obtain & use.

IF the doctor didn’t comply, I would ask the state board of medical licensing to audit & find out if any doctor was committing fraud to assist my absent employees. I would ask for punishment if fraud was found.

As difficult as it is to get ANY kind of medical appointment- I find it very hard to believe that all those ‘teachers’ could have gotten an appointment & a prescription in such a hurry in massive numbers.

ANY employee found on the tapes of the marching protesstors who tried to turn in a ‘sick day’ piece of paperwork would be told to prove they were ‘sick’ when we have them on tape marching & hollering & being generally foolish.

In general, I would yank their chain & make sure I didn’t have such employees on my roster in the future.

Fire them & re-hire where necessary. Cull the herd as necessary.
