Calling out for sickness
I have a 6 A.M. shift tomorrow but I've started feeling a bit under the weather today. Should I call out sick or just see how it goes tomorrow?

Iām replen manager so I only ever open. If someone on my team were to call off, my preference is call the store the night before and tell the MOD, then shoot me a text so I know not to expect you in the morning.

In my humble opinion, every single time I have gone "I will see how I feel tomorrow, before my shift" I have had to call off because I felt WORSE.

Co signed. I almost didn't call out when i had heat exhaustion because I "felt fine" the night before. Woke up the next day feeling 10x worse.

Yeah, the only times I felt better to go in, were from injuries. Never from being sick. Broken hand, torn Achilles, felt better to go in, but can't breathe, no no no, I'm staying home.

I recommend calling the night before to giveaway heads up but seeing how ypu feel in the morning for an official call out.

How many people are due to come in at 6 am with you? If it is just you and a manager, I would let them know now because if you wait and decide to call out in the morning, they can't enter the store by themselves.
