Unjustified absence will result in deducted wages.
Tips
usage
缺勤 is the formal HR/admin term for absence. The opposite is 出勤 (chūqín, attendance). Workplaces track 缺勤率 (quēqín lǜ, absenteeism rate) as a key metric.
memory
缺 (lacking) + 勤 (diligence/attendance) — literally 'lacking attendance'. The 勤 here is the same as in 勤奋 (qínfèn, diligent).
