In your case this may not be true but as per a new study it is seen that one in three staff do lie to their boss when they call and say that they are sick. A study found that the reason behind this lie can be good weather, hangovers and romantic trysts which motivate them to lie regarding their absence.

Some of the common excuses which were used were: they fell down from loft and were beaten by a bouncer. Well some had pet related problem which were frequently cited dog related illness.

Well illness is the most favorite excuse of 4 out of 10 absent people. They try to fake people showing unnecessary symptoms or by using crutches. According to the study half of the people give excuse of stomach upsets, which is had to be approved.

As per the Daily Mail report most of the workers aging 18-34 years more give this excuse of health problem on phone in comparison to their older colleagues. Accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted a study based on a survey of 2,000firms.

According to Nick Roden of Pwc it is known that these sick excuses are given to cope up with the pressures of family life. He also added “For 21 per cent of workers, family responsibilities are the real reason behind sick days, perhaps highlighting the difficulties staff face achieving a work-life balance.”
