• 10 FUNNY WORK ABSENTEEISM EXCUSES EMPLOYEES GIVE

• 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 Clients Place
• I am at clients 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 wont 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.
• 5. Passport Verification
• As I have applied for passport.
  Today the Police is arriving again for
  verification. The last visit by them was not
  enough to get the formalities done. So I have to
  be at home for the same reason.
