Can an employer say "no" when you call in sick?



Answer:
Yes, absolutely. They can even fire you for no reason simply because you asked.


No he can not
No. It is unconstitutional.
but they have the right for a doctor's note.
Yes... That's why you try to leave a message instead of talking to someone.
No but they can still fire you if you habitually call out.
Uhm , Absolutely. But you can pursue it from there.
they can say whatever they want, but they shouldn't.
No, not if you have a note from the doctor. If they do, and they fire you, you can draw unemployment
Yes, definitely. They can say that unless you go to the doctor and bring in an excuse, you must come in or be fired.
yes, theres really a lot of careless people out there and they can say no.
LOL I guess it all depends where you live. And your obligation to work and what your job is. And what laws your work place is governed by. LOL in Australia anything is possible under IR
If you have already used up all your sick days, then I guess they could say no, and by that it means don't bother coming in any more, a.k.a. your fired.
they can fire u
I wouldn't think so...unless you have some type of huge government type job. But your job would probably be put in jeopardy. No one can make you come to work...if your sick your sick.
It is dependent upon the employer's sick/personal day policy. If, in the employer's policy, you are alloted only so many days of sick or personal time, then they can legally say no. If there is no such policy, they cannot legally say no.
He can say no, but so long as you take his sexual advances it is perfectly fine to go ahead and ignore him. Take the day off!
Usually no. But if you are someone who routinely calls in sick and you are not really sick then yes. We just went through this at my work. We wound up firing her.
no they can't...but unfortunately some do...hell some will even come to your house and pick you up if your car wont start lol..i had that happen to me once
they cant say no, but if the company policy calls for a drs excuse, unless you take it in the next time you go to work, they dont have to pay you...
It would be dumb, although he can certainly fire you for taking too much sick time and require a doctor's statement that you have been treated and can return to work on a specific date.
its not right but they just do it any way.
Unless you have sick leave/pay, then yes they can. It is their right as an employer...as unfair as it is. I once called in sick and was told that if I didn't show up I could be fired. The best thing to do, even though it is a pain in the ***, is to get a dr's note.
Yes, but if you are sick and don't come in, they may require a
doctor's slip to show for it. :-})
Yes. I've had that done before. I woke up one morning with the flu and fever. I called in two hours before I had to start work and one of my supervisors said I had to come in because someone else had called in sick. My supervisor said it in a way that made it sound like they were irritated or frustrated like I was trying to play hooky. Anyways I went to work and spent a while in the bathroom vomiting. Another one of my supervisors scolded me for coming into work sick and for putting everyone at risk to getting sick. So I went home.

They can say no, unfortunately you'll have to stick it out. Good luck.
Sounds like someone has been abusing calling in sick.
An employer can request a Doctor's note to confirm your illness. The employer can also dock wages for missed work, that he had to pay some one else to do. It all depends on your employment contract. And don't say you don't have one, because if you have not signed one, then it is defined by regulation and industry standard.
They can say whatever they want.
I would say that it would depend on the individual employers policy on sick day allowances and such.

If an employer says no when someone is really sick, the employee should go in and get sick in the bosses chair.
They can say whatever they want. If they insist you come in, go in and throw up all over their desk and clothes.
Maybe that will convince them.
