What repercussions can occur if you call in on your last day?

Answer 1

Probably none. I did it 18 years ago when I quit working at a grocery store. Do it!

Answer 2

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Except you obviously won't be paid for that day!! It is ILLEGAL to not pay you for the time you have regardless of whether you honour your notice period ect. They have to pay you what you've worked.... end of.

Buuuuut, why not just go in? Its one day. Does it really make a difference? You'll get a little extra cash and it leaves no hard feelings... you never ever ever know when you'll need a favour from these folks at some point in the future.

Answer 3

I am assuming that you mean your last day of work. This can depend greatly on where you work. I know of one place that states that if you call in any time in your last two weeks you lose all vacation time that is owed and that they don't have to give you your last paycheck. I don't know if that is even legal but it is in their handbook. I know it is not uncommon to take all your vacation time (which they would normally pay you for) if you do call in. Other than that probably just a bad reference?

Answer 4

You'll miss your farewell party

Depending on the position and the firm, often there are separation documents to sign, company items to turn in (keys, id cards, etc) You'll still have to go in to take care of those.

Sort of bad form, actually.

Answer 5

let us suppose your next employer after the job you are leaving to take now checks references and past employers?

Btw, memorable items in human memory tend to be the first, last, and repeated occurances.

What will your supervisor remember?
Is that what you want her/him to tell a prospective employer in two years?

Answer 6

Get a written evaluation from your supervisor before you go and there's nothing they can do after that.
