Some employers may require you to notify them at least 2 hours before your shift starts, while others may require more notice, such as 4 or 8 hours. It's important to check your company's employee handbook or speak with your supervisor to determine the specific requirements.

A few states have mandated paid sick leave laws, but most do not. Sick leave may only apply to full-time employees. Even if your company does not offer sick days, most managers will not force employees to work when they are ill unless the worker habitually abuses the privilege.

This terminology comes from the commonly used phrase, “calling in sick,” which refers to calling your employer and telling them you won't be coming to work because you are ill. The terms “call off” and “call out” are often used interchangeably with “call in.”
