Grab a doctors slip...

Give it to a 3 year old

Let them scribble

i once called in sick because i had sunburnt my feet & couldn't put my work boots on. The boss man laughed because i never take time off

Stay home. Give them the note when you're better. I've always been told to stay home when sick whether it be work or school. If he still cans you, he's a dick. Make sure to tell him that to his face.

It's not like you plan illness....it happens. The only reason to feel guilty is if you make it a habit to miss work. But, for legitimate illness - no.

I was on the last Friday of vacation once when my Mom collapsed at work and was rushed to ER (brain aneurysm). They had to operate on the weekend and the surgeon was straight with us - telling us she had to have the surgery for any chance of survival, but it was 50/50 she'd make it. She did, but suffered a stroke during the operation.

I called in Monday morning after spending the entire weekend, sleepless, at St. Pauls Hospital. My boss' response? "Great, you've just finished 2 weeks of holidays and I need you back here". What a tool...thanks for caring, boss.

Think of it this way, if they really do hold it against you for having the flu and discipline you in some way, is it really a place you would want to be working at?

North America is so sad when it comes to sick days.

Why feels guilty?

[Navyblue]

I haven't had a sick day in about four years. We are slow sometimes though, so I get time off.

To the OP, don't worry about it bud. If the boss wants to be a jerk about it, find another job. If you're having a tough time finding work, tough it out.

Easy!

P.s. If your boss is breaking the law, sue his/her ass.

I haven't called in sick for a very long time. If I did, I would just work from home anyways. My boss always calls in sick, so I have no worries when if/when I call in sick.

[GodzillaDeuce]

I've never called in sick in my life

[canucks.brad]

if they canned you, you could probably sue them for wrongful termination.

[theminister]

Call in constipated.

No boss will ever argue about that.

You're Greek?

I call in sick occasionally, just 'cause I'm either really tired, or of something important happens that day...

As long as you do a good job at work I wouldn't be worried :D

It all depends upon the terms of your employer's employment policy manual and/or the contract you signed. If you bank days, and then get sick, that benefit is your right. If they dismiss you for exercising your benefits, you need to file a labour relations complaint for breach of contract.

By the way, there is no such thing as at will employment in Canada. If you employer is going to seperate you, you are due a severance, usually two weeks of employment or more, depending upon your years of employment there.
