[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to work this morning and started feeling ill and vomiting - so I called to let my boss know I was under the weather. I apologized profusely and Mb and DB were more then understanding. Luckily the kids grandparents were staying with them so the grandma came to relieve me immediatly and sent me
Home. My question is, As a saliared employee should I offer to make it up on one of my days off or just leave it? I don't want to offend them
By apologizing an offering to make up time but I also don't want them to think I don't care that they lost out. We don't have a real system for sick days so I just don't want to seem ungrateful for how awesome they were about the change in plans. [/quote]

You shouldn't be salaried in the first place (hourly only), but if you have guaranteed hours then they can say they pay an average of $15/hr which equals x amount a week. In that type of situation, you have guaranteed hours and so if you don't work due to being sick etc, then you still get paid. So you WOULDN'T offer to make up the hours unless you really didn't care about your own time or felt you really owed them that time back. If you have no set sick day time, then you obviously need to talk to your MB/DB. This is the type of stuff that normally goes into contracts. Even if you have no written contract for some reason, you should ALWAYS have discussed this type of stuff before starting the position and have a verbal agreement in place, and have it written down someplace (like in an email to each other) for future reference.[/quote]
