I have searched the U.S. Department of Labor and the NV Business & Industry websites and I cannot find anything regarding requirements for determining job abandonment.

I've read that it is considered good practice to give a minimum of 3 days to allow for any extraordinary circumstances (i.e.: hospitalization, being stranded without a phone, etc.), but there are no clear-cut legal guidelines for this. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

The law does not define job abandonment. The employer is free to set their own definition.

Thanks for the quick response.

This is a great forum and I am learning a lot.
