Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
When you call in do you have to speak to your boss directly? Or can you leave a message?
If you speak directly, do they ask you "Whats wrong? What happened?..etc?
I have to speak directly, which is understandable because they need to bring a teacher in to cover my room. I'd much rather just leave a message and when I go back tell them what was wrong.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
When me and my boss were closer I would wait until he was in to tell him but now I chicken out and leave a voice mail.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
I'm the office manager so I have to let my boss know. I usually don't call her because she has two small kids. I usually let me co-worker know & e-mail my boss. I do tell them why I'm out.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
I usually call when I know my boss is in the office...he doesn't always pick up his phone (that's what he has me for) so I usually leave him a message and then call another coworker to make sure that he gets it.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
I leave a voicemail. I used to wait to speak to my boss, but I soon learned that it wasn't necessary. And I'm usually very non-specific about why I'm out. I say "I'm not feeling well" period. Sometimes I feel it's just none of his business what's wrong with me to be quite honest.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
I am the manager of a facility. I would have to arrange coverage before calling out. I would make these arrangements then call or e-mail my boss withthe new staff plan. She is very understanding as long as everything is covered.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
I call them and usually leave a message because I call either at 11 o'clock at night or 5:30 in the morning when I get up! But if I do speak to them, it's not a big deal.

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
Thank goodness I dont have to speak to my boss directly...I call her secretary, which in some ways could be just as bad

Re: Calling In Sick..Spinoff..
We are required to speak with manager at my facility. It is not even an option to leave a voicemail. They never ask any questions though. Very understanding.
I just don't like that if at 5am I know that I am throwing up and will not make it to work and I have been up all night, that I have to make sure that I am up at 8am to call my job and reach someone.

Same here-but I am not specific-I'll say, I'm sick. Employers aren't allowed to ask what's wrong (even though a lot of them do), and if they ask for a doctor's note, you can provide a copayment receipt or just a note on letterhead that you were there-it's the new HIPA regulations/patient confidentiality. They are good around here, no one ever asks why.

I don't have to talk directly to anyone, although I prefer to just to make sure I am not causing the day any harm.
