“I’m taking a sick day.”
HR: Approved.

Hello,
I woke up feeling quite sick and was wondering if it’s okay if I take the morning off to see the doctor. If I feel better, I will come in. If I don’t, I will work remotely this afternoon. I will try to make up any time lost by working overtime when I return.
HR: Denied.
