10 FUNNY WORK ABSENTEEISM EXCUSES EMPLOYEES GIVE September 4, 2015 Mukul Agarwal

A part of Human Resource job is to handle the excuses given by employees when they are looking for a day-off. There is nothing wrong in taking a break from work. (the writer of this blog already gave one smart excuse to stay at home today). In our free time, we reached out to HRs of various organisations and gathered some of the common work absenteeism excuses employees usually give.

1. Advice of the Astrologer My family astrologer has advised me not to do any important thing today, as it may ruin my whole day. So my family is not allowing me to go to office, fearing for the same reason. My family is very orthodox and has good faith in that astrologer.

2. The Shabby Clothes While I was on the way to office, I met with a small accident which has spoilt my office attire. I returned home to change my clothes, so am unable to attend the office today. As per HR policy shabby clothes are not allowed in office.

3. I am at Client’s Place I am at client’s place for the meeting. It is taking time to wind-up the things here. Actually the meeting was scheduled tomorrow, but due to some miscommunication I came here, so won’t be able to attend the work today.

4. The ill Neighbor The old lady next door is seriously ill. As she is staying alone, and no one nearby to take care of her, it is my responsibility to take her to hospital and make sure she is in perfect health condition.
