What to Do When You're Out of Sick Days

You wake up for work, only to realize that the stuffy nose and sore throat you had last night have gotten worse. Or alternatively, you wake up feeling fine, but your child comes in to tell you that they aren't feeling well.

When you've run out of sick days, your best options are to call your supervisor--to find out your options at work, and to call your doctor -- to find out if there's anyway to feel better faster.

You head to the phone to call in sick. But before calling your supervisor, you realize you've exhausted your supply of sick days. What should you do?

Given the variety of workplace situations, what you can do may vary. But your best option, whether you're sick or you're child is, is to fill out a form for the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.
