Quick tips for sick day emails
Do I have to say what illness I have?
No. It’s usually enough to say you’re unwell and won’t be in. Only share details you’re comfortable with and that your local policies require.
Should I offer to work while sick?
If you’re genuinely too unwell, it’s okay to be fully off. If you choose “might check email” or “working from home” above, the template will reflect that.
Is this HR or legal advice?
No. This tool gives plain‑language templates only. Always follow your company’s policy and any local laws about sick leave and reporting absences.
