I work every day and I havent ever called in. Anyone have any call in reasons for me besides the Im sick one.?

Question

I really need this day for my family.

Answer 1

Just be honest with them. Tell them you really can't come in because of family issues. Remind them of how you have never called in. If your boss has a soul, he should let you off for the day.

Answer 2

I've Earned It: No one can argue with performance. Come in two or three hours early -- or stay late -- for a week or two. Then negotiate a day off in advance. "Really work when you're there, so you'll be able to feel good about taking time off," says Andrea Nierenberg, president of The Nierenberg Group, a management consulting and personal marketing practice.

I'm Playing Golf with a Client: For this one to work, you've got to have a job that requires you to meet and court current and prospective clients. Neil Simpkins, an account executive at Oxford Communications, has used this one successfully. One note of caution: Meet the client; don't just say you did.

I Have a Doctor's Appointment: This excuse will get you out of work for a half-day or so. Make the appointment first thing in the morning or late in the day, say around 3 p.m. You can leave the office by 2:30 p.m. and get home (hopefully) by 4 p.m. The shortened day will help you recharge, especially if you schedule it on a Friday afternoon.

I Have Cramps: Before you dismiss this one, think about it: Who can argue? "It's such an embarrassing topic that nobody will ever challenge it," says Jennifer Newman, vice president of Lippe Taylor Public Relations. She has used this excuse -- and had it used on her -- successfully. "It's one of those things that men honestly have no clue about, and women can sympathize with." One important point: Don't use this one if you're a man. It'll never work.

I'm Working from Home: This is an excellent way to give yourself a break if your company allows it. Although you'll need to do some work, you can generally get away with a shortened day. And you'll eliminate your commuting time.

Answer 3

There is the old family emergency one. I have taken sick days on personal emergencies too.

One really good thing to do is get a friend who is a Doctor. When things like this come up, just call him up and he can get you a note.

Answer 4

Seriously, just tell them that you need to take a personal day for Family Issues.

If you get paid vacation or an allotted amount of days that you haven't taken, there shouldn't be a problem. If you don't, I can see why you're looking for a good answer.

Answer 5

with your perfect attendance honesty is the best policy...so just keep it real with them...you can even tell em i havent taken a day off in a long time and i am getting burnt out so i am taking a day off of work to spend with my family

Answer 6

Most employee's are entitled to a personal day. You can simply call and say you are taking a personal day no excuses needed!

Answer 7

Call them and tell thim that you need to take off because of a family emergency...they don't need to know what kind of emergency...if they say no, tell them that you really need to be with your family.

Answer 8

you have a family emergency one of your aunts is very ill and you need to take off. or you have a doctors appointment. or just tell them you need to take a personal day off. they cant fire you for that if you have never taken a day off.

Answer 9
