NCNS stands for No call, no show, a human resources abbreviation.
Absence in which an employee neither reports for a scheduled shift nor notifies the employer in advance. Attendance policies typically treat it more severely than an excused or called-in absence.
Example: Two NCNS in a row and the system flags it as job abandonment.
Usage notes
Many policies treat three consecutive no-call no-shows as voluntary resignation, which can affect eligibility for unemployment benefits. The term is especially common in retail, hospitality, health care and warehouse work.
