Tell the boss you had a cramp in your ovaries!

[*flick*]

^lol at least that will be original.

I went home sick today, went n got a certificate tho.

Some places dont pay sick days without a certifcate, does ur work have some sort of policy?

[PREISS]

yeah Its my last sickie left till they start again in a couple weeks. need a cert to get paid.

I honestly cant be bothered goin to the docs. money or not.

I was there a couple months ago complaining about something that wasnt really there . haha

just thinkin of something to say tomorrow

[Sambo33]

explosive diarrhea, no one will ask any questions

[PREISS]

I usually say its something I ate the night before. that usually gives me 1 - 2 days .

last time I went in I said this.

They played around with my stomach and said there is some stuff going on in there.

I was fine.

So who is the liar ?

[Luciano]

lol if you say explosive diarreah you boss might tell you to piss off home tomorrow so noone else catches it

[nos man]

i use to say i had gastro alot

[R32 project]

say something that no one will want to question, like diarrhea hahaha

[SLED]

you don't need a certificate for 1 day off regardless of what your boss tells you.......you do for 2 days or more though.

EDIT: .........and as long as you rang in sick at a reasonably early hour this morning.

[PREISS]

pretty sure my EBA states 3 days of without a certificate and 7 days with a certificate.

If I wish to be paid.

you sure sled ?

[Krishy]

I am with Sled on this one

My work doesnt require a sick certificate if its only 1 day.

If however its 3 or more days then i definately need a doctors certificate

So i am guessing its the same for you as well craig.

And as for excuses:

1. a massive headache

2. Diarhea (not sure of the spelling lol)

3. bad cough, runny nose and general soreness (possibly from something that you ate over the weekend, blame some restaurent for that)

[CRoNic...]

Issue here is that your sick day falls on a Monday - a day after the weekend, so they'll most likely ask/demand a sick certificate otherwise they will assume you're partied hard all weekend!

My previous workplace used to have the same policy - if it was a sick day mid-week, no questions asked, but if it was a Monday or a Friday, they came down hard on you!

where i work if your sick day is immediately before or after your weekend, you need a sick cert, or if you have 2 or more days off in a row.

Cronic makes a good point here.......it may be up to company policy if it falls on a Monday or maybe even on a Friday.
