I took two days off this week and I wonder how to respond if my employer demands me to make up for these sick days.
I caught a pretty bad laryngitis last Wednesday. Since then it's been a week of agony, five days of constant high body temperature and laying in my bed the entire day.
I worked through it in home office last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, then I took two days off on Monday and Tuesday as my symptoms got only worse. I am scheduled to have free days on Wednesday and Thursday and plan to get back to my only work day in the week this Friday.
As I am closer to going back to work I wonder whether will I be expected to “compensate” for my sick leave (which was unpaid as I work on a student contract)? I am alread quite stressed as I missed nearly all of my final exams at college because I was ill and these days “away” from work don't really compare to those when I am healthy.
Should I stick my guns out if things get complicated when I return?
