You would like to go out of town for a long weekend with some friends and would need to take Friday off to do so. Is it ethical to call in "sick" for this day even though you are not actually sick? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is ethical to call in sick, if you are sick. If not, utilize your personal day.
