Summary:
The claimant was often absent from the workplace for prolonged periods of time which he asserts was related to legal proceeding. The employer tolerated these absences to a certain point, but when the claimant failed to show up for work in May 2005, he was deemed to have left his employment and was thereby terminated. It is well established that when an employee is absent without leave for a prolonged period, and without notice, this may be construed as voluntary termination.
