Answer #1

Yes, punching in/out improperly or leaving the workplace without informing the manager can amount to misconduct and may violate the company’s code of conduct/attendance policy. However, immediate termination without notice or notice pay generally depends on the employment contract, applicable service rules, and the nature of the misconduct; ordinarily, disciplinary procedure and an opportunity to explain are expected before dismissal.
