Career Builder: More than 30% of Workers Called in Sick, Even When they Weren't This Past Year

Posted: Updated:

You've heard them, maybe even used them.

I can't come to work because... my dog is having a nervous breakdown, my toe is stuck in a faucet, or I'm having my dead grandmother dug up for a police investigation.

According to Career Builder, these are just a few of the more creative excuses workers gave when it came to missing work.

The company says 30% of workers over the past year called in sick, even when they weren't.

The survey also shows 22% used the days for doctor's appointments, 16% to catch up on sleep, and more than 30% when they just didn't want to go to work that day.
