The following excerpt is from Zike v. State Personnel Bd., 145 Cal.App.3d 817, 193 Cal.Rptr. 766 (Cal. App. 1983):
Due process protections must be accorded to the valuable property right of a state employee to continue in his position. (Skelly v. State Personnel Bd. (1975) 15 Cal.3d 194, 124 Cal.Rptr. 14, 539 P.2d 774). On the other hand, the government employer has a legitimate interest in expeditious removal of employees who are absent without leave. (Id., at p. 213, 124 Cal.Rptr. 14, 539 P.2d 774.)
