Ed, I always enjoy L.A. Parker’s articles, however when he suggested recently that it is a good idea to stay out of the workplace if you are sick, that is OK if you are salaried. What about those of us who work by the hour and get paid by the hour? It is pretty tough in this economy today to call out sick.

A-choo!

L.A. was speaking about co-workers who have accrued sick time. If you don’t have any then it’s a tough decision to call out. Try not to cough on anyone.—Ed. Note
