Honey, I FEEL your pain! Unforutunately I get sick a lot and have to call out of work. I have SO many doc's notes it's not even funny! Yet I still have a "reputation" with my bosses for being the teacher that calls out a lot. What do you want me to do!
It's not my fault.
Oh, and I was informed at my doc's office that it is against the law~HIPAA for employers to ask why you were out or why you are calling out.
