[quote=Anonymous]I assume you used sick leave during your half work days? If not, then I would have to side with the boss. You may have met your basic deadlines despite working half days, but if you are only working 4 hours in a job that requires 8 hour days, you aren't "getting all your work done." You are either cutting corners or failing to take advantage of downtime that could be used to get ahead or work on business development. There is no such thing as doing a full day's work in a half day; at best, you're just doing a very efficient half day. In other words, there is an opportunity cost to staying home with sick kids, and it isn't one that the employer should be asked to shoulder on anything but the most rare occasion. [/quote]
