If you get caught, then yes, you can get fired.

You are in a better position than me at the moment. I have been working very hard at school this week, because it is the last week of my last class of college. I have been preparing my final presentation which i gave today, and i stayed up so late last night that my alarm didn't wake me up today until 2 pm. I just started this job, too - and it is a good job! I hope i don't get fired tomorrow.

It depends on your employers policy, but every company I've worked for gives people general-purpose "personal days" rather than "sick days", and don't particularly care why you take those days off. And really, I don't see why any company should poke into your personal life and decide what is and isn't important enough to have to take a day off for - an employee is not the company's property, for pete's sake. Your employer's rulebook must be dated from the stone age :-/

Work really hard next week, come early, stay late, then ask for a personal day off. It's better than calling in giving them no notice....

If you call in sick and your supervisor would see you at the mall-yes, you;re in trouble.
If you want a day off , ask for it in advance,then there can be no misunderstanding.

I would have an excuse, just to cover your rear. Allergy problems, food poisoning, something like that.

Yes, if you lie about your reason and get caught you can be fired.

YES YOU CAN. If you don't have a documented reason then you can be fired. Period.

...what's the problem, take a personal day. They can't fire you for that.
