[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 4244854, member: 8481"] Yes. Most states actually have laws allowing employers to request a doctors note to verify that the employee was actually sick. The time frame varies. These laws also give the employer the right to ask the employee about his illness when he calls in. I have never seen it yet, but it is possible, based on state laws, for an employer to discipline an employee for an unapproved absence without a doctors note of illness after a specified period of missed work. If you're not sick, don't call in sick. Take yourself out of service for personal reasons. But, 3 days in a row of this personal reasons and you're asking for trouble if it not approved. Nope. Hell, the contract doesn't even list how many sick occurrences an employee can accrue before being discipline, yet warning letter are passed out right and left for attendance issues. Sometimes, though, it's beneficial to not be in black and white. [/QUOTE]
