[QUOTE="Toledo UPSer, post: 398240"] Dude: This is how it works. If you are late for work it is an infraction. If you call off sick and are off one or two days it is an infraction. If you are sick for 3 or more days you need a doctors note to come back to work. You get 6 infractions in 6 months and then you are in the disciplinary process. If you continue to miss work or have more than 6 infractions in this 6 month window, you could lose your job. You don't get "sick days" because that encourages employees to call off and use their days, even though they may not be sick. The best advice is to keep your supervisor informed of what you have going on and get a "request off", that does not count against you. If you are truly sick and can't make it to work, then call off and deal with it when you are feeling better. Just don't make a habit of calling off. That will certainly draw attention to yourself and you don't want that. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
