if i give 12 hours notice and say it is a personal matter, do I have to tell what the matter is? now, I don't get any sick time ,personal time, or vacation time pay. the question is, is it legal for them to ask and do I have to tell.

Hey JB,
Yup and Yup
Not only do they have a right, if you say that you are sick, they can ask that you go to a doctor, at your expense and give them an excuse!
Try a Union Job or at least a Government one!

I imagine they have the right to ask....they probably wouldn't unless it's a habit. There is the HIPPA law that protects your personal info, but I think that the boss has a right to know why you're not there, but they couldn't spread your business around the office. The best thing is to not call out unless you are sick, then you don't have to worry about it. But, if you insist, just tell them you aren't feeling well. They probably wouldn't ask anymore questions about that.
You're serious about this question, aren't you?
