Company surely entitled to dock wages for this.

Dock wages? Why even bother pay them.

Quantum Erasure

Shows some serious commitment, give that man a promotion

If someone leaves work on Friday, lives on their own, and has few connections. They die over the weekend.

I wonder how long would to their employer wait before they try and contact them, Monday or Tuesday?

The employer discovers the next of kin's contact details are a doddery old cousin who hasn't seen them in months and isn't in a position to go to the employee's apartment.

What does the employer do? call the police?

Sending the guards around to do a welfare check should be an early step: whether they will do it as early as Monday or Tuesday is unclear.

Also interesting in WFH scenarios: one person's perception of regular employee welfare checks is another's micromanaging.
