Exactly. I was out for just over a week last year but because I'm super reliable, no one doubted that I really was sick and unable to work. Same when I had to take just one day off another time.

Conversely, when I broke a bone and was on LOA for several weeks, I had to have doctor's permission to return to work and do all the usual lifting.

I expect there are some leadership teams that are real sticklers about it, but if you're good little worker bee who shows up on time, does a good job, doesn't whine about stupid stuff, a halfway-decent TL will accept a call-off at face value and not write the TM up about it.
