Syllabus

<p>Master and servant — Manager of real estate office — Absence from duty— Wages.</p> <p>A person who is employed at monthly wages as manager of a branch real estate office, and who has after notice to his employers and without objection on their part absented himself from his place of employment for a period of six weeks on a pleasure trip across the ocean, has no right on resuming his work to claim wages for the period covered by his absence. In such a case it is immaterial that he may have been allowed on several previous occasions to absent himself from his place of business for several days at a time on shooting trips, or on short visits to the seashore, without any reduction in his pay.</p>
