Build Your CA No-Call-No-Show Packet

Step 1 of 6

Your Company

Basic information about your business to personalize all documents.

Company Name *

Total Number of Employees *

Determines which COBRA/Cal-COBRA and HIPP notices are required at termination.

📌 2–19 employees: Cal-COBRA notice required. 20+ employees: Federal COBRA + HIPP required. All: §1089 + DE 2320 required.

Step 2 of 6

The Employee

Details about the employee being terminated. Used verbatim in all generated documents.

Employee Full Name *

Job Title

Hire Date

Termination Date *

The date you hand the employee the termination letter. California §201 requires final pay at this exact moment.

Step 3 of 6

The Absences

Describe the no-call-no-show dates. This becomes the factual record in all discipline documents.

Absence Date(s) & Scheduled Shifts *

List each date the employee failed to report and did not call in. Be specific — these go directly into the write-up.

Did the employee notify the company before or during the absence? *

Yes No — true no-call-no-show

What did the employee communicate?

When, how (text/call/email), and what they said. Included in the discipline letter.

Step 4 of 6

Prior Discipline

Your progressive discipline history. Answer honestly — it shapes whether a write-up or final warning leads the packet.

Does your company have a written attendance policy? *

Yes No

Prior verbal warning for attendance? *

Yes No

Date of Verbal Warning

Prior written warning for attendance? *

Yes No

Date of Written Warning

💡 No prior warnings? That’s fine — your packet opens with an attendance write-up as document 1, building the progressive trail from this event. The termination letter will include California at-will language.

Step 5 of 6

§234 Protected Leave Check

California Labor Code §234 bars disciplining employees for absences covered by paid sick leave or other protected leave. Answer honestly — your packet flags any concerns.

Did the employee mention illness, injury, or a medical reason for the absence? *

Yes No

Did the employee request CFRA, FMLA, or any other protected leave? *

Yes No

Was the employee on any approved leave at the time? *

Yes No

Step 6 of 6

Pay & Final Wages

Used to compute §203 penalty exposure and the final-pay checklist in your packet.

Pay Type *

Hourly Daily / Salary

Hourly Rate ($) *

Hours Per Day

Accrued & Unused Vacation Hours

California treats accrued vacation as earned wages — must be paid at termination. Enter 0 if none.

Outstanding Wage Hours (current pay period)

Hours worked since the last paycheck that have not yet been paid. Enter 0 if fully caught up.

⏱ California §201: All wages — including vacation and outstanding hours — must be paid in a single check at the moment you hand the employee the termination letter. Have the check ready before the meeting.
