How sick do you have to be before you'll call in?

I rarely call in sick, but right now I feel like if I call in (before I get really sick) then I will be less likely to call in later and get to feeling better sooner.

I have a very sore throat and I work part-time in retail (so I need my voice).

I call in sick when I'm so ill that I'm unable to work and if I'm at the stage of an illness when I could infect my co-workers.

I agree that it's much better to call in sick earlier -- you take off less time, and you won't get your co-workers sick, so that they have to take time off.
Asker's Rating:
• I selected Sara's answer because she was right. I didn't call in sick yesterday, so I have to call in sick today and I turned down an extra shift for tomorrow.

Live and learn I guess!

I always call in sick if I have a fever or if I'm throwing up or if I have a sore throat because I don't want to get other people sick.

Just imagine if you were a customer or coworker of yours and you came in in the condition you were in. Would you think, gross, that person is coughing and sneezing and blowing their nose and looks sick, I don't want to be around this person, then you should stay home.

Plus, resting helps you recover faster.
