[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1092498, member: 45493"] This is where I have to disagree. While I think you and Sleeve are mixing moral obligation with text-book requirements, my stance is as long as you have a sick day to use, I could care less what reason was given, if any reason was given at all. Sometimes it hurts my operation more than others, but sick days are your contractual right. Who am I to argue that? If my employees call in sick and just say "I want to use a sick day" .....okey dokey...call me tomorrow and let me know how you're doing. As a management person, if my operational plans get ruined by someone calling in, then I need to seriously reassess how I'm putting my plans together. With 35 people working for me, I'd be crazy to just assume that everyone will be there every single day and not leave some wiggle room in the plans. That's just a total and complete failure on my part, and no-one else's. Now, back to my intention of this thread....This still does not discount the entertainment value I get from peoples' hilarious and, at times, pitiful reasons for calling in that they provide to me on their own accord... I like the ones that literally tell me some huge, convoluted story for the better part of 5 minutes just for me to say, "You got a sick day to use? Yes? K, see you tomorrow." [/QUOTE]
