Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school?

I think I actually did once. But only because this particular employee was so unreliable that we had told her that we’d for her for calling off without a doctor’s excuse.

Sure enough, she called off, but she did bring in a doctor’s note… that just happened to look like she wrote it on the way to work.

I called the number on it later that day and I’m pretty sure she was the one that answered before hanging up on me.

    Valid and accepted. Do whatever you want but your pay will be docked for missing time…

  It was so long ago, I don’t exactly remember what it looked like, but I do remember laughing at how little effort went into it.

    I do appreciate the challenge of lowest effort calling out of work…
    
    I once called out of work by sending a whisper to my boss in world of warcraft chat… His only response was “really??”

A doctors note has to be in the doctors official letterhead…

Try getting a doctor’s note when you have ME or something.

I had an employee call in late or call out so incredibly frequently that I sat her down one day and said “I’m not saying your excuses are lies… but if they are true than you must be cursed. You need to return the amulet you stole from that tomb, see if you can’t appease what ever dark spirit is haunting your life… because I can’t work around this curse anymore”
