Call your staffing manager/staffing ofice, which in some cases is the HR office. Otherwise, call your receptionist and ask them to direct your call to the appropriate office.

If you were given an employee handbook look in there, it should tell you. Most companies will tell you to contact your manager or the manager on duty. If you can't reach them try Human Resources. DO NOT leave a message with another associate as that usually will not count and you will be considered a no-call, no-show. If you don't reach a manager the first time you call, keep calling back until you personally speak with one.

Taking a sicky already, that terrble, normally you would contact the personel or human resource deptment, depending on how big the organisation you are working for it may be the case that you will have to contact your line manager if this is not possible maybe a supervisor or team leader, if this is not possible you should contact another manager to keep yourself right, dont leave messages that you wont be in with any tom dick or harry,people have really bad memories when it comes to passing messages on, been there,done it got the sack then the t shirt

The best person to call is the head of your department, as they will be the person affected by your being of sick, and they will be able to explain what you need to do. Failing that call your company's personnel dept. Hope you get better soon.

With a large company it's probably the HR (human resources) department

If your workplace has a telephonist/receptionist or admin worker who fields calls, why not as them who you should speak to. They are bound to know.
In most of my workplaces I've had to phone my line manager if I'm off sick. They need to know because they may have to arrange cover for your work. They would usually have to fill in sick leave forms for anyone who is off.

you should have checked this when you started. phoning in sick is an important part of being an employee, plus you never know when you're going to have an unexpected bout of flu. phone straight to your line manager, don't forget to sniff, cough and say oh dear throughout the call

HR or your boss direct as a matter of courtesy so he can get straight on with letting the team know you are away and find someone else to cover for you for the day. Get well soon!

Usually HR, do you not have a dedicated sick line number to call? these details are usually given to you when you start any new job.
Call your managers line otherwise, i'm sure he will sort it out for you.

It is typical to follow your chain-of-command. You contact your immediate supervisor unless told there is another point of contact. Once you get back, however, you may be directed to contact HR to fill out a leave slip or provide a doctor's note.
