Wrong. An employee must explicitly resign, or else it's not quitting.
Plenty of unskilled low-wage jobs available. However, employees that choose not to work on specific days should always provide an excuse for not showing up that wouldn't result in inhibiting future employment prospects. In other words, if an employee chooses not to work on Thanksgiving, he/she could just call in sick or claim that his/her baby sister is sick and needs to stay at home.
That way, the employer could not legally fire the employee for that reason*, esp. if a valid doctor's excuse is provided (shouldn't be hard to get one on Thanksgiving, considering how many people have relatives who are doctors). Of course, the employer could still fire the employee for another reason, but still proper documentation is needed under current laws.**
* ** - In a Libertarian society, there are no restrictions on when an employer can terminate an employee--this is what I would prefer. However, the US is not a Libertarian country.
Wrong. If an employee does not show up, they quit and in my business I make that perfectly clear at the beginning.
When was the last time you were a business owner?
