calling in sick to work Options

[amysmojo]

My job changed their policy this year so that if you call in sick two days in a row you have to bring a doctors note or else you go on probation for 90 days. No matter the reason. So even if you call in sick on a Monday you would need a doctors note because they count Sunday as a day...even though they arent open on Sundays! Anyone else have this policy??

Thats how it is at my work we have a point system for the first 90 days you only get 6 points if you call in sick for a hole day you lose 2 points and if you lose all 6 before your 90 days your fired. Also after the 90 days if you havn't used your 6 points then you have 20 points. The gay thing is you have to give them a 24hr notice that your going to the dr. to get the day dismissed without losing points. So really how can you tell your gonna be sick the next day and going to the dr? Yea its stupid, if you lose 10 points you get a written warning. and if you lose 15 points you get a day off lol. and if you lose all 20 your fired. How dumb is this rule?

20pts per year? or per 90 days? or...ever?

also, do you lose points for missing part of the day?
