I would have emailed requested a domestic emergency day off. At the worst, a good employer would ask you to take a paid/upaid day off instead. | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 5:25 | comment | added | puck | If being tired or having other things to do really was a quailfied reason for a "sick leave", I guess companies would be quite empty every day :-) I second the suggestion to not talk any more about that situation. Not feeling well is kind of true and they better don't know details why you felt this way. Any other explanation would make it worse. | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 2:21 | comment | added | DarkCygnus♦ | I see... next time, being truthful from the start can spare you from having to sort all of these details that a "harmless lie" can have, as well as spare you HR department from, perhaps, having to follow up on you or do paperwork regarding sick leave... I understand that you were tired and perhaps not in the best clear mindset when you wrote that message, but next time you know what to do | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 2:04 | comment | added | threeFatCat | Thanks for your input! For answering why, I wanted to send follow up message, I just wanted to avoid getting ask in details once I get back to work, or avoid to be ask for medical certifications since our office is practicing guidelines about COVID base on the government requirements, though I'm not sure if certifications is part for employees that went sick leave. | |
