What is the required amount of hours when calling in sick for a shift?

Question

Im curious as to what the minimum hours in calling in for a shift are. I have recently been told that I gave short notice when I called in at 4:00pm for a shift that didnt start until 11:00pm that is clearly 7 hours. I have always thought at least 4 hours was required.

Answer 1

You SHOULD give at least 3-4 hours, but it is not legally required.

Answer 2

Your employer makes policy for that. Just ask your employer. The 24 hour rule applies only when asking for a personal day.

Answer 3

The employer sets the requirement. There's no law specifying how long ahead you have to call in.

Answer 4

24 hours,

Answer 5

It is up to your employers policy........ask........easy......they can do what ever they wish......and so can you.....if you don't like the policy .....just quit.......easy........
