Rodel, 

Not a good idea especially if the employee works in mission critical postion
(ie systems administrators, firewall, network, etc).  Opens the door to various
social engineering attacks " ehhh...I need to get some information but Bob is
not here today...". 

Another way to look at it is...when you go on vacation do you put a sign on
your front door...advertising that you will wiil be out of town for the next
ten days?  Most people do not.
