What are the reasons a supervisor can decline options days?

[DriverNerd]

Never ever ask for a day off. call in and say "this is Imabear,wont be in today. code one of my Option days. " the end

Here they will put you in as called in, they won't give you a paid day instead (we don't have paid sick days).

So if they find out you're not sick, they can fire you for dishonesty. Nice.

This is Gumby I'm taking a sick day.
No other information is given.

I always just said I wouldn't be in. They don't need more than that. An occurrence is an occurrence, the reason why isn't going to help them with the staffing situation.

I'd bet that's how a lotta 542 folks do it since there's probably many former aspiring actors in their ranks and that's pretty much the only way to conclude phone calls in movies and TV shows. Maybe @542thruNthru can confirm.

We have our agents call in for us. Though sometimes that backfires because they always tell management. "Let's do lunch." Afterwards.

If I use a sick day and they see me out in a field flying a kite what can they say? Thats the only thing that makes me feel better when I'm sick.

Usually I just say " I'm using a sick day today."

"You're fired" would be a good example.

Little funny story about that.
When I was a rookie I called off sick so I could go fishing.
So is that they're having a good day then I Heard a voice from behind me saying hey do you have an extra beer?
I turned around it was my center manager.
He said I sure do hope you feel better tomorrow
LoL

That's at least slightly different than saying you're sick (even if you're not). Saying you're taking the sick day leaves that gray area where you can say you never said you were sick.

I never did that because we didn't get sick days under the central supplement.

How can they prove that my knee or my back isn't bothering me?

What the hell are you talking about willis?

 

[Beezer]

When calling in never ask. Tell them what you are doing. They always harass the weak.

Just sick of UPS. He didn't need to clarify what kind of sickness it is. Maybe he just needs a sick day for mental wellness? There's tons of illnesses that you cannot see.
