This question is about excuses to miss work.

Do you apologize for calling in sick?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

Yes, you should apologize for calling in sick. This doesn't mean that you should apologize for being sick and taking a day to rest -- it means apologizing for any inconvenience your absence may cause.

While you shouldn't feel bad for taking a sick day, acknowledging that your boss and coworkers will have to cover for you is a courteous and professional thing to do.

If you can, ask if there's anything you can do to help from home and invite your team to contact you with any questions they may have.
