When an employee gives 24 hours short notice resignation, should we treat as proper resignation or treat it as abscondment?

Usually when an employee decides to resign from the company, he/she should be giving sufficient notice period (eg: weeks, months). However if an employee throws in a resignation letter and left the company the next day, does it really work out this way?

Besides if company doesn't have any policies stating 24 hours short notice resignation, how shall we treat this kinda situation?

Any HR experts/bosses mind to share your expertise on this matter?

Thanks!

so meaning employee has no say in termination even he/she got submit resignation letter for 24 hours short notice?

Contract doesn't mention 24 hours short notice... either employer / employee serves certain period of notice upon resignation or payment salary in lieu according to the notice period...

yea its 1 month notice period or 1 month salary in lieu.. does it mean this 24 hours short notice thing is just made up by the employee yes?

even if he/she mention 24 hours short notice in the letter, the employer has the right not to accept such letter?

Thank you very much for the clarification..
