I get no paid time off currently, but if I'm sick, I am expected to call in and take the hit. My current job requires that I prepare food, which means there are certain guidelines to be followed. I can't work if I have a fever and sore throat, can't work if I'm throwing up, can't work if I have diarrhea, and can't work if I have jaundice (not likely, because I'm immunized).
I would feel bad if I had to call in sick because of how hard it would be on my boss's end to find me coverage, but I understand that it is important to do so in certain cases. I'm exposed to a lot of people every day because of my work, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for getting all of them sick because I decided to come into work ill.
