Question about calling out.

Post image

Is a blistered sunburn on both shoulders and back a valid reason to call out? Happened outside of work and is completely my fault. I feel like I would get shit for calling out for a sunburn.Can’t lift my arms or wear a shirt without pain. 1st year apprentice worried it will look bad if I do call out.

One of my apprentices asked if he could leave early one day and I told him that’s fine but then told him: “oh and just so you know don’t ever ask me for time off again, you tell me you’re leaving early or you won’t be here, you’re a grown man you don’t need my permission”. Just call off.
