What’s everyone’s workplace procedures for being off work due to illness’s or can’t make it into work for some reason?

Do you get paid leave days? Unpaid? Is it procedure to inform your boss immediately?

There’s been a situation where an employee went ghost for a couple of days, so it make us all wonder what difference companies are like, more relaxed or more stressful busy type etc.

"There’s been a situation where an employee went ghost for a couple of days." No matter what your sick or PTO policy looks like, this is never okay, with the exception of an extreme event like a car crash. If anyone gets sick here, they're expected to inform their boss. Going MIA for multiple days would not fly.

Yeah I completely agree, was very strange as all management tried to contact but was getting nothing. To the point where it was then classed as rude and really starting to annoy us as you can’t just go ghost, or at least make a family member get to contact your work for them if you are completely unable to do it yourself. But bottom line is work needs to be informed of your whereabouts ASAP.

We accrue our PTO every pay check. So our sick time and PTO are all in one bucket. As long as you have hours available you are paid for it. Otherwise you have to take an unpaid day off.

Yeah that’s very fair I like that. Ours is just purely unpaid unless you have a day off for say compassionate leave but for general sick days it goes down as unpaid.

We’re told to message our manager directly, ideally before shift start. It’s paid for up to five days. Still, there’s always that guilt trip when you’re genuinely sick—it shouldn’t be that way!

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
