He did this countless times at his previous job (it was a union job so I thought somehow he's getting around the rules) but at this one I think this is the 3rd time since August that he's been gone for 1 week+ with zero consequences! Every time I freak out about what is going to happen and it is always for no reason at all.

Lots of low pay no skill jobs especially if not full time and no benefits don't care if you are there or not.
Your husband isn't college professor or RN or a chef. Place won't get closed up if your DH isn't showing up.
I have a professional job where I can't not show up. But we took a pay cut so I have not professional part time job to supplement my income.
This fall I was gone two weeks for bereavement (legitimate), but they never checked so anyone could say anything. I often take weeks off because I have other things going on or i don't need the hours or am off day job and just don't want to work. Other people do the same. I do inform management of course but some jobs just might not require that. I once had a job traveling to different buildings. There was no way to even check where the person is.
Your husband isn't CEO. Who cares why they let him do it.maybe he is such terrible employee that they are happy he isn't there. In fact if he is paid hourly they save money when he isn't there especially in slow season. He isn't important for them
You worry about wrong things. Your marriage is bad but you worry about his management allowing this or that.
