Lol, was told today by my boss with a manager witness that in order to take sick leave I have to wake up even earlier then I already do for work, not getting paid of course, to make sure I'm sick or not and call at that time. So I have to call in hours before I start work. Doesn't matter if I fall ill while sleeping. And it was highly emphasized that taking to much sick time would be punished. I looked up the state law and it says that's a no, no and is on the fence of being a no no, for the first part. Basically an employer in my state cannot penalize an employee for taking sick time. I will call when I wake up at my normal time. That's that. They will not have anymore of my free time and I see 3 am calls coming in the future. Which I was also told not to do about a year ago when I was throwing up, as it was rude.
