My boss just did this, for a good reason as her partner unexpected and prematurely went into labour, but it did get me wondering in what other situation this is an acceptable thing to do

In Germany, this is acceptable whenever you feel unable to continue your shift (be it due to personal distress or sickness). If you showed up at all, your shift will be paid in full and not counted as sick day or anything if you have to stop it because you have become unable to continue working.
So you can just clock in and go home, and this it fine?
Well, basically yes. You tell your superior that you stop working because you’re not feeling well and go home. You can’t do that constantly of course, it’s gonna get noticed if you’re abusing it of course.
