It depends on how long he quit for. I've seen people quit and come back within 2 weeks at their same pay and seniority. if it's beyond that they can be given the choice pay or seniority. anymore than six weeks and it will be experience pay only with no option of seniority.

A full time co worker in my department decided to quit and walk off the job last week after working two hours. The next day he came back and spoke to the store director wanting his job back. He is not on the schedule this week. Apparently management says he can have his job back if he wants it because he was not in the "right frame of mind" when he quit. Now this employee does have personal problems going on at home which has affected his work performance as I have pointed it out to managment.
My problem is he should not be able to keep his seniority since he quit. From what I heard he will get to keep his seniority when he comes back. I do not have any hatred towards this employee but I believe it sets a bad example and not fair to everyone else in the department who is trying to move up the seniority ladder. Otherwise I can just quit, go on hiatus, come back and keep my seniority too. If the rules apply to me then they apply to all !
The contract states if you quit your job, your seniority is broken. Am I missing something here ? The contract doesn't give you any leeway for not being in the "right frame of mind". It says what it says and nothing more.
If he quit and it wasnt formal as in he actually signed the paper saying he quits he will get it all back since they didnt enter it in the system. They must really like him because they could of fired him for job abandonment. He must of put in for a vacation that week.
