The last two days (Monday and Tuesday), I have been home sick. I was running high grade fevers and it was nothing that the doctors could pinpoint. Which means no answers. No diagnosis. No help.
So what did I do on my days off? Anything exciting? Nope. Not a thing. I laid in bed. I moaned and groaned. So I guess what I'm wondering is if taking off for being sick is an appropriate use of PTO (paid time off). I know everyone's dream of PTO use is to take a vacation while faking sick, but I certainly don't feel like that was the case this time at all. I barely got out of bed at all on Monday. And Tuesday, I only did to go to the doctor's office.
So was it worth it? Or was is needed? How do you use your PTO or sick time?
If you have a fever, vomiting, or are contagious, (or a kid with any of those things) you should stay home. Anything else I suck it up and go to work. I don't take fake sick days either. It's too difficult to try to catch back up after a day off.
ReplyDeleteI always feel bad taking a day off. But it was definitely legit.
