Consecutive absence

Our warehouse supervisor hasn’t come in for 3 days and isn’t answering the phone. I have the minutes.

ThemisHR

How many people signed the minutes?
What was the first day of absence?
Has the employee come back, and if so, on what day?
Do your internal regulations have a clause on this?

Two people signed. The first day was 29 Sep 2026; they came back on the morning of 2 Oct 2026. Our regulations have a clause.

Example flow. Dates are illustrative; the deadline and the route were computed by the product’s own engine.

Safeguards

Gates don’t warn. They block.

Gates that block

A termination letter before the defence, service of an unsealed document, closing a case before service — each stops outright.

This comes firstLocked · Notice of termination for a valid reason

There is no valid defence request on file. On this track, a termination made without taking the defence is procedurally invalid — complete the defence step first.

Law · Labour Act No. 4857, Art. 19 · block

This comes firstLocked · Service

Service is bound to a sealed text; produce and seal the decision letter first. An unsealed draft cannot be served.

ThemisHR rule

The engine counts, not the model

Sundays and public holidays are skipped. Saturday counts by default, which keeps the period short.
