Shouldn't your employers trust the employees to use their flex and sick days responsibly? I mean, I don't think you guys are high schoolers working entry level jobs anymore, please tell me you guys don't have to bring in Dr.'s notes 
If I want to "waste" a sick day to take my parents to the Dr, then I should be able to. |
Like any good thing the employers do trust the employees. But then there's abuse and after awhile companies are fed up and are strict to everyone.

With the privacy and discrimination laws being what they are, is a company going to risk opening itself up to a lawsuit by prying too hard into your personal life?

Same thing, I agree it's good in theory until someone calls in sick or shows up late over and over again.
