If I'm constantly coughing my lungs out or throwing up every 20 minutes, I'll get someone to cover me as soon as possible. This rarely happens though-maybe once a year I'll get a stomach flu that makes me physically weak and extremely nauseous. My job is physically demanding, so if I can't regularly lift 10ish pounds on a large tray and carry it up stairs then I'm useless. I also don't want to be coughing around customers all the time. I find that unprofessional and I don't want to get anyone sick, ta' boot.
I don't get any sick leave at the main job, and I think I get a couple weeks' worth of sick/vacation leave at the part-time one.
