Both AWOL and UA (Unauthorized Absence) are legal terms.

To me unexcused/unauthorized absence from work is breach of contract usually with consequences. I cannot believe that an employer plans to report this hours in a time sheet, maybe as Hours of Unexcused Absence. This misconduct might be tolerated and accounted for as Missed Hours or Unscheduled/Unpaid Time Off or so.
Idle time is working time because the employer must pay for it, at least in the West.
Toddle pip!

The clever ED's time sheet before get sacked for UA:
hours worked: 0.25
PTO* hours: 88.00
missed hours: 79.75
*payed time off

AWOL can be originally one of the military terms which is officially and widely used in administrative procedures and regulations since administration stems from the military rules and regulations, they say. I learnt this word from the Business Management books by world class masters of management.
Although to me it does not seem terribly appropriate for serious use in a civilian employment setting, you may be right that other people do use it that way. Also, I'm wondering if it might be more prevalent in the US.
