<answer> see it will depends on the situation and here we have to consider some of the policies and procedures of our company and here legislation plays a vital role if we are having any clause of unauthorized absence in the standing orders, as per the industrial employment(standing orders) act, 1946 which specifies the conditions of employment and all the misconducts and misbehavior. leaving station with out information is not a big offense but we have see the terms and conditions of the standing orders of the company.

Dear Sinha,
It is implied, the employer must know the whereabouts of his employee. Absence without permission from headquarter is usually treated as a misconduct on the part of the employee.
Of course, the clause of permission to leave station is provided in the Rules of the Government of India and those of the State Governments. Several of the Industrial and the commercial organisations also usually make the same provision in their Leave Rules, Standing Orders, or the Handbook of employees.
So, it is better you may see the relevant rules of the concerned organization.
For this purpose, there is no difference whether it is off day or casual leave or sick leave.

Dear Niket Sinha,
I would say it is more of ethics to inform the immediate boss about your absence from the town where you are working.
Even if it is an off day, you can make a mention that you will not be in town during the weekly off. As rightly pointed out by a member, your presence may be required in emergencies. Atleast they must know where to reach you.
In our organisation the employee is required to cite the address and phone number during the days he is on planned leave. Weekly off as a matter of ethics employees inform their superiors.
Do not bring in the concept of misconduct as not following ethics is not construded as misconduct.

Another important point besides other things is that organisations especially govt. sector have insurance coverage for employees. If God forbid some mishappening occurs with the employee when he is out of station he or she may not be liable for insurance if the organisation has not been informed officially. So in a way it is good for the employee if he informs the organisation before leaving station.

Hello everybody,
I am not an HR professional but i have learnt a lot from this site.
I believe it can be treated as misconduct if there exists a definite rule in the organisation, as suggested by praveen kumar. It should also depend on the nature of responsibilities/duties one perfoms in an organisations. If the officer is stuck up while out of station, will the ongoing work be seriously hampered? If yes, He definitely has a responsibility to inform seniors beforehand , rule or no rule. I personally shall treat it as misconduct.
Finally , can we see some better english in this site? 'Can' and 'is' in the main question made me flinch.

yes, it of course is a misconduct. Employee must obtain approval from his superior before he leaves the workplace during duty hrs. if it is extremely urgent and the latter is not available, suppose in a meeting and mobile is not reachable, employee could text him, drop an email, or may convey the message through a colleague and on return could explain the situation. It really depends on how flexible is your manager or work environment though.

Yes, its an offence. Coz senior position hold High responsibilities. So lot of work will come to a hold, which will effect the smooth running of the organisation. And also, a leader is the one whom the team follows,It will impact the team members to conduct a misconduct.

normallly such things are included in the disciplinary rules of the company. if nothing is mentioned, then one of this will have to be done
- to inform all the concerned that he will on leave from and to and in cases of emergency where one has to be contacted. also informed about whom to contact during his absence.
normally in an manuafacturing company, an alternative arrangement is made before anyone goes on leave. this will be true with other industries also, including software.
