Quick Answer

Leaving work early without supervisor approval may be considered an unauthorized absence.

Important Clarifications

Supervisor approval is required before leaving during a scheduled shift, unless an emergency makes prior approval unrealistic.
In emergency situations, you must notify your supervisor as soon as reasonably possible.
Supervisors may ask follow-up questions to determine whether the departure is excused.

Unauthorized or repeated early departures may result in corrective action, up to and including termination of employment.
