A simple question, when is it the right time to inform your employer of your absence from work? Suppose you know you are not feeling well and doubt if you will go to the office. Do you call your boss the time you do not feel well or do you wait until the next day just before 8am?
Scenarios differ based on the reason for your absence. If it is a reason that is foreseen, e.g a celebration, a doctors appointment, then the earlier you tell your boss the better.
If it is a reason that is sudden, then as soon as you find out you will not make it to the office, you tell the boss!
Imagine this : on a Monday morning the person who holds the keys to the office sends a message at 8.00 am that he will not be able to come to the office because he has an ED from the doctor that requires him to rest for a week. The first thought to spring to mind is was the ED issued to him at 8am? Apparently he had visited the doctor on Friday and the ED was also given on Friday. So the funny fact is he waited until monday at 8am to give information that he will be away for a week!
Sometimes we really test our bosses' patience!
